We met in the 7th grade in language arts class at Edgewood middle school. We had free reading time and were allowed to sit wherever in the room to read. Anthony was sitting behind the desks at the side of the classroom and I was sitting in the back with a friend. Her and I noticed him initially by his skinny legs that were poking out from behind the desks and that was where it all began.. With me, making fun of him and unknowingly starting what would evolve into the best friendship I've ever created. Throughout the course of that school year we grew closer and started talking daily and I knew we were creating an unbreakable bond. We were the best of friends through middle school and half of high school until we both decided maybe there was something more than just our friendship there. We were both nervous because we did not want to ruin the friendship we had developed over the years, but Anthony mustered up the courage to ask me change our relationship status on Facebook to "in a relationship". I, of course, said yes that day (6.15.12) and that is where our love story began. We have been given the opportunity to grow up together and figure out life as young adults. We have had the ability to see through our college years together, own a home and a dog together and walk one another through some of the more difficult experiences life has handed us so far. And here we are, over 8 years later, getting married and still the best of friends.
