Our story began when we were both in high school at 18 and 16, at a time when most people around us didn’t think we would last. But from the very beginning, we knew there was something different about what we had. It all started with a simple Snapchat add. Reese made the first move- and we quickly fell for each other. From the moment we met, we had a feeling we couldn’t explain—we just knew we were going to get married. We first saw each other at one of Landon's baseball games in Lorena, both of us so nervous but so excited at the same time. We went on our first date soon after, and by the second, he asked me to be his girlfriend. From that point on, everything just felt right. Our relationship wasn’t always easy. We lived an hour apart for most of our relationship, so seeing each other wasn’t always simple. We spent a lot of time on FaceTime, learning how to be there for each other even from a distance, sharing our days and growing together in every season of life. Through it all, our love only got stronger. What started as a high school relationship turned into something so much more—something lasting, built on trust, friendship, and choosing each other every single day. We’ve learned to truly do life together, finding joy in the little moments and supporting each other through everything. Against all odds, we’ve built a love that never faded, and we’ve never been more sure of anything than we are of each other. Here's to lasting love and to being High School Sweethearts!
