They say high school is some of the most important years of your life. You meet new friends, learn new things like how to drive and prepare to go to college or get a job. In preparation for all of that, I would have never thought high school would bring me the love of my life. But sure enough it did and freshman year at that. We didn’t know it then, but Math class freshman year started our love story. What started as friendly jokes and playful flirts lead to us being high school sweethearts. Countless memories of homecoming dance pictures, prom, sports games attended to cheer each other on and much more. College took us to two different schools which allowed us to grow together but also as individuals. We also took full advantage of weekends off and saved a couple extra dollars to pay for the tolls back and forth to see each other. It would be a few years after we graduated until we would finally be back in the same state and living together. We never expected Indianapolis to be the first place we lived together but that Midwest city became our home. We even got a dog together, even after we said we weren’t going to. Moving back to the east coast was a dream come true after years of being apart, followed by years of being together but away from family. What made the move even more special, as we celebrated us getting a place in VA to start the next step in life together, was getting engaged! We are so excited to start our forever together and are grateful to share the day with you all.
