We attended the same high school where we knew of each other but had never actually met. While on a field trip with the school's woodshop class working with Habitat for Humanity, we were painting an elderly woman's house together with our friends. Our friendship actually started with Miranda playing "wing woman" for a friend. Once that relationship ended, ours began. Summer 2013 was full of teenage love but it came to an end and we both went our separate ways. Fast forward to Spring 2014. I was in college at the University of Central Missouri and Elijah was installing hardwood floors for a living. After almost a year of not speaking, the spark was relit and the two of us picked up right where we left off. 5 years, 3 moves and 2 dogs later, we're finally getting married!
