We met during our sophomore year of high school through gaming, and what started as casual chats eventually turned into something more. We didn’t start dating until junior year, and for the next five years, it was long distance. We made it work, we visited each other every Christmas and summer break, and we pretty much lived on skype calls and texts in between. It wasn’t always easy, but we knew it was worth it. A huge turning point came when Brandon started grad school and suggested that we could move in together. The idea of moving across country and leaving was scary, but we wanted to close our "long distance" chapter and start living life together. So with the biggest decision made and a 29 hour drive from New Mexico to North Carolina later, we got ourselves an apartment in Raleigh. We’ve been living together ever since. That was five years ago, and somewhere between the cross-country move, everyday life, and all the little moments in between, we built something really special. And finally after 11 years of being together, we’re getting married!! We’re so excited to celebrate with the people who’ve been part of our journey and have made our lives wonderful!
