One night at a frat party, I met Ryan. We both had been drinking and a conversation sparked. He put his number in my phone and the next day I texted him asking if he would like to hang out. We hung out a few times, and on September 22, 2016, he asked me to be his girlfriend. Ryan and I never thought of our age difference, we never saw anything but the love and fun we could have together. From the beginning, Ryan showed me how fun life could be. 3 1/2 years later he asked me to be his forever.

Ryan on the very first date, you made me laugh harder than I ever had. He understood me, he accepted all my past, my flaws, and choose to love me anyway. His sense of humor, his smile, and his caring heart continue to make me fall in love with him more and more every day. He accepts me at my worst, loves me through everything, and is always working toward making our lives stronger together. He is my better half, my protector, and most of all my forever and always. Even though we both have our imperfections, we have grown imperfectly perfect together.. And so our adventure begins...=)

The day after I met Kasey she invited me to come over and meet her dog, Jax, and she also made me Lasagna. You could say she won me over through my stomach. Over the next few weeks, we started going on walks together, hiking, and we ended up adopting a second dog, Carley. Over the years we have had many ups and downs together. Kasey has taught me how to love myself and to also be more motivated. Thank you for the memories we have made and the future memories we will make together.
