Meeting in our "Career Prep" course in high school, the class had asked us to plan our individual futures. Neither of us would have predicted having such a major part of our future begin due to that class. We began dating on 2/29/2012, with Kory's hope that it would save him money on anniversary gifts - one every four years. After dating throughout high school, we had said goodbye - both deciding to pursue our future plans separately. While Paige was visiting home one summer, we had the chance to reconnect. The time apart had allowed us to become better partners to each other, to truly support one another. While neither of us pursued the career we thought we would when we were sixteen, the class helped guide our lives in a way we never could have planned.
