It all started the summer before 8th grade when Anthony asked me to be his girlfriend. It was sweet and simple, one of those moments that didn’t seem like a big deal at the time, but ended up changing everything. High school was a blur of football games, volleyball matches, dances, and just spending time together whenever we could. We grew up side by side, learning, laughing, and becoming each other's biggest supporters. After high school, we both ended up at Marietta College. Anthony playing football, and me playing volleyball. Balancing practices, classes, and everything in between wasn’t always easy, but we made it work. We pushed each other, celebrated the wins, and leaned on each other through the tough days. Through every season, we’ve learned that the best moments are the ones we share together Now here we are, fresh out of college, looking back with so much gratitude for everything we’ve experienced. We’re excited for what’s next: the adventures, the challenges, the unknowns. And no matter what comes our way, we’re ready to take it on together. This is just the beginning of the next chapter.
