It began in college with becoming friends. Pursuing art and exploring self-discovery, through the years drawing closer as our friendship supported the growth we both individually sought. We became fascinated by shared interests and values; art and games, adventure and fun, loyalty and honesty. Our relationship was nurtured and grew into the strongest friendship we had ever had before. And miraculously, it continued to deepen and grow past the point of where just calling it "friendship" would cheapen it. It became love. Love that blossomed through graduations, and loss, and new careers, and pandemics, and new friends, and new homes, many new homes, and through it all has only grown stronger and prevalent through every day of our lives... The best part of the story of how we fell in love is that it isn't over yet, and everyday turns a new page that exhibits how our love only grows.
