She says it was third period French class, he says it was first period Tech Ed class; either way 7th grade is where our love story stared. Like typical middle school love, Ryan teased Anastasia until she finally came to her senses and realized maybe she liked him too. After a few on again and off again years of "dating", we made things official when we were Sophomores. We have been together through 2 college degrees, the start of our new careers, 6 pets and moving into our first home. 12.20.19, after 6 years of dating, Ryan asked the big question in front of the Christmas tree in our first home. It was by far the best day of our lives; so far!
