Let’s flash back to 2018, our junior year of high school. We first sat next to each other in AP Environmental Science class. Brooke was totally distracted by the handsome, smart boy beside her, and she was the one who talked to Michael first. Michael was instantly intrigued and began to warm up to Brooke. He even offered her his jacket one day, but somehow still said no to her legendary birthday party invite. After a few dates, Michael asked Brooke out on August 9th, 2018. From there, we went through so much of life together in high school, college, jobs, and all the crazy moments in between. Now we live together, building a home, a future, and a life we love, still side by side.
