If you'd told us back in high school that a few texts about our pets would turn into this, we never would've believed you. But that's exactly how it started - two teenagers trading pictures of our animals and slowly becoming each other's favorite part of the day. One of our first memories together is Noah driving me home from school. We barely knew each other, but for some reason I felt totally comfortable with him. Those rides turned into our own little dates: windows down, music playing, swapping songs, and pointing out the stars. Over the next few months, we became a constant in each others lives. We went to games, Facetimed late at night, and found every excuse to hangout. Prom of April 2019 Noah asked me to officially be his girlfriend and from there, our story began to unfold into something bigger than either of us expected. Some of our favorite memories together are attending musicals & concerts, visiting the planetarium (we ended up getting engaged there) and taking those small drives just to be with each other. We've grown up together. We've learned how to communicate, how to be patient, and how to support each other through the ups and downs of life. Looking back, it's wild to think we met at 15 and 16. Now here we are, years later, choosing to spend forever together. Our story is still our favorite - from teenage crushes to lifelong partners. And the best part? We're only at the beginning of the next chapter.
