As many of you already know, we have been together a long time! We both met when we were 18 years old and fresh out of high school. We grew up one town away without ever meeting. We even worked at the same places, went to same karate school, but never crossed paths. That all changed in the fall of 2007, in our first semester of college. All it took was one ugly sweater and a first date of yelling at a football game. Since then, we have been inseparable. We started our journey as teenagers, sleeping on parents' couches, to moving to the ghetto of Poughkeepsie and getting our first puppy, to moving across the country to our new home in Colorado. In the gorgeous scenery of Vail, the snowy peaks and tall pines were a perfect back drop for our engagement. Places may have changed but the love always stayed the same. Now we are getting married, back home on the black dirt fields we grew up on. We are so excited to celebrate with all of you!
