There is something so special about knowing someone your whole life. Though for the majority of our lives we were close friends, we still have shared so many life experiences. Ce and I have been neighbors and friends since birth. We spent many summers playing wiffle ball, going hunting, taking hikes, riding four wheelers, and playing zombie tag. Though he was really hanging around because he and my brother are best friends, we still were always all together-- they were not leaving me behind. Long summers turned to middle school proms, then high school football games. We both stayed busy with sports, friendships, school clubs, and relationships. But, we still knew we had each other if we ever needed anything from advice to a car ride home. After going our separate ways for college and doing our own things, we never lost touch. Once COVID happened, we began spending more and more time together. From USC tailgates to my weekend visits home, we became inseparable. What began as a close friendship eventually blossomed into a relationship. If we were going to spend ever day together, why not spend the rest of our lives together! The past four years have been nothing short of amazing. I can truly say our relationship has only grew sweeter with time. We are both so excited to begin our forever, together.
