Our story started 11+ years ago during our freshman year of high school. Although we had lived parallel lives throughout the year, we didn't truly get to know each other until one warm April night spent with friends. No intentions were clear, but either one of us will tell you that from that night on we knew we had stumbled into something special. Sparks flew, connections were made, history had it's starting point. We have experienced life hand in hand since then. We've gotten our licenses together, celebrated 11 birthdays and Christmases and New Years Eve's, navigated and graduated high school, picked out colleges (UNC and NC State (Go Pack always)), met new friends, faced new adventures and tough challenges, graduated college, received our first job offers (both at McDonalds/TJ's Deli and for the one's were in now), moved into our first apartment - the one Ryan asked me to spend forever with him in underneath our Christmas tree; the firsts we've shared together are countless and never ending. Our love has grown and changed as we have, but is constant and withstanding. Here's to many more years, and thank God it's #finallyfacer.
