We met in 2013. Michael was staying with a friend in the house I lived in. We instantly found the other interesting, but both had a lot going on in our lives and didn't get the chance to really connect. Michael moved from Seattle a couple months later, and lived in Colorado & Arkansas for a year. When he moved back we were able to reconnect. We had both grown in that time, and met as even better people. I had never stopped thinking about him and when he returned to Seattle we became good friends. Shortly after we began to fall for one another. It's been 7 and a half years since the first kiss, and every day feels like it's full of more love than the day before. We have been through so much together, but we become stronger every day. We work to always learn, grow, and better support one another. I feel so blessed and excited that I get to marry the love of my life. -Natasha
