One word...Highschool. We knew of each other for years but never really talked until we were in the same class together and paired up for an assignment (Thanks Mrs. Hibbs!). I made a stupid joke one day and that apparently put me in his sights. We have been together through two highschool graduations, three years of long distance while I went to school, a college graduation, and almost 5 years of love. He proposed after recreating our first date and we have decided to go to one of our favorite places to get married, the Smokey Mountains.
