We're getting married! (again)

Brandon & I met June 30th, 2016. I had just graduated high school & wasn't looking for love, Brandon had gone a year without dating & didn't plan on starting back anytime soon. His best friend & best man, Deven, had introduced us. Right off the bat, Brandon & I were the best of friends. We spent that first day making jokes, finishing each others sentences, laughing nonstop, bowling, & genuinely having the best time. That summer we created an unbreakable friendship. He was who I went to when things got stressful, I was the one he went to when he needed advice, & we could always count on one another to lighten the mood when life got too overwhelming. Unfortunately, our lives were so hectic we didn't get to see each other for 4 months. With us both working 50-60 hour work weeks, living 45 minutes away from each other, I was going to college in Longview at Lower Columbia, anything more than a friendship just didn't seem do-able. It wasn't until January 14th, 2017 we decided to see each other for the first time since the end of summer. We both had expressed our feelings for each other & we needed to see if the magic was there in person or if we were just better off as friends. I drove my '97 Camry all the way to Milwaukie, across the snow and ice (this was during that horrible snow storm early 2017) to pick him up. We had planned to watch movies & catch up that night. The sparks between us was undeniable. He moved in with me that week, & eventually we moved to Clackamas! Not long after we moved there, we found out I was pregnant with Elena! Brandon & I were over the moon ecstatic. We started preparing for our sweet girl & got a 2 bedroom apartment in Gresham. A month after Elena was born, on my birthday, Brandon proposed to me. We always knew we were going to get married, & now it's go-time! We can't wait for our big day & for you all to celebrate with us! Thank you all for your love, kindness, & support as we start our new journey together as husband & wife.
