What started out as a middle school crush grew into something neither of us could have predicted but something we prayed for. At the beginning of our freshman year of high school, we decided to give being in a relationship a chance and it’s blossomed into what you see before you. 8 years of new experiences, growth, and joy have led us down the path of marriage. We’ve traveled countless miles at each other’s side and have an infinite number of stories to share but none bigger than the story of how we’ve grown with each other since 2017. Through all four years of high school and four years at the University of Dayton, we had the unique opportunity to navigate all of life’s changes as a couple and that has done nothing but build us up as both individuals and a unit. We’re so thankful for the blessings handed down to us from God and we have nothing but happy memories to look back on as we move towards marriage. It’s been a long time coming but we’ve never taken a moment for granted and we remain wide eyed as we look forward to the many blessings to come.
