I was a junior in high school. Cory’s cousin invited my best friend at the time to a get together out in Cummings,KS. We went to this get together expecting a big party. We got lost out in the country and almost ended up not going, but we eventually made it to the party. We pulled up to a shop with about 12 people there. We were introduced to everyone there. Cory and I were introduced and I just knew. I instantly had a crush on him. We ended up being beer bong partners all night (Shocking, I know, lol). I was too scared to ask for his number so I asked for his twitter handle instead. After that night, we tried talking, but we were both occupied with other things in our life and it never worked out. I graduated high school, and spent that summer wondering what I was supposed to do with my life next. I messaged Cory on the 4th of July. The timing worked out perfectly. We made the rest of summer as much fun as we could until I left for college in Colby, KS at the beginning of August. We were determined to make this long distance relationship work. Each of us took turns driving 5 hours each weekend to go see each other. Cory was making arrangements to move to Colby with me until I got accepted into nursing school in Atchison. I ended up moving back and we started living together and everything else fell into place perfectly with time. Here we are almost 6 years later saying I Do! 💕
