Pete and I met in the 5th grade at Hugger Elementary School! We actually "dated" for 2 months at that time before he decided to break things off, and then we "dated" again in 6th grade for a short period of time. We remained great friends throughout middle school and high school and would spend hours on facetime together. Junior year of high school Pete asked me to be his homecoming date, the day after homecoming he asked me to be his girlfriend. We have been together ever since and are celebrating 9 years together this year. We made it through 6 years of long distance, and now we are so excited to start our lives together!
