Our journey began in middle school. Our first date was in our hometown at the local elementary school playground. We were standing at the basketball courts surrounded by those closes to use enjoying the sunny afternoon. We weren't sure if anyone knew how we felt about each other. At that age, we ourselves weren't too sure. As we gathered around the court that day, we locked eyes, and instantly we knew the feeling in our hearts would last forever. Fast forward, 17 years later we are complete with beautiful children and family. When our eyes lock, our hearts feel young again, just like that beautiful sunny day at the park.
