It is crazy to think that something that began so effortlessly and innocently, has blossomed into what it is today. I was a sophomore in high school, hanging out with some friends, when Manuel called one of them to ask about me. Little did he know that I was right there and a few moments later, I was on the phone! We agreed to chat at school the next day, and the hours leading up to the moment were gruesome! Would it be weird? What would I wear? Our little spark turned into a friendship and relationship that is everything it is now. We have laughed together, cried together, grown together, and seen some of our favorite places together. From our first date at Scandia, to walking down the aisle, these are the stories we will cherish eternally.
