Nick and I have a very long and complicated story. I love it and I hope you do too. We met through mutual friends in 2010. In the beginning I was dating another guy, but Nick and I were the best of friends. We lost touch our senior year of high school. I then moved away to Aurora for college and we hadn't spoken in years. He reached out to me, we reconnected, and eventually started dating. Things got complicated with the distance while I was in Aurora and we broke up. We went our separate ways and again didn't talk for a few years. When I moved back to Rockford, he again reached out (it's like he was in love with me or something.) We started dating again in June of 2017 and have been together ever since. On Nov. 8th 2020 Nick FINALLY proposed. It was one of the best days of our lives. Our story has been a long time in the making and we are so ecstatic that we get to continue it forever.
