This year will be 7 years together. We met in middle school and became friends. I had a crush on Branden all through school. We went our separate ways in high school and reconnected at the end of our senior year. After only a few weeks of dating we decided to try long distance for college. After 4 long years of long distance we finally got to live in the same place and see each other on a regular basis. In November of 2021, Branden finally asked me to marry him!
