Braydn and Ella met in the 3rd grade. He was new to Whitehall schools and put in Ella’s class. In elementary school they were friends, and often chose each other as partners during group work. As school went on they didn’t have classes together and lost touch. Then in 7th grade they were put in both science and social studies together. Over the course of the year they became great friends again, and on March 10th Braydn asked Ella “if she would do him a favor and be his girlfriend”. The two have been inseparable since. They dated all through middle school, highschool, and now into adulthood. Over there time together they both have reminisced on how in third grade they were both each others very first crush and didn’t know it at the time. They love how connected they have been even from the start. Now Braydn and Ella are building their forever together working on building their dream homestead in New Era.
