We met in 2014 on the bus home after the first day of school. We started off as only talking to each other when they were on the bus, to fast friends in the summer of 2016, and were officially together on September 9, 2016. After 5 years going through the high and lows of a long distance relationship between our families living across the state, going to schools 3 hours apart, and COVID, we worked extremely hard and loved each other even more to get to where we are today. After nearly 8 years of being together, on July 26, 2024 we finally got engaged! We cannot wait to have a new anniversary to celebrate: May 16, 2026 will forever be one of our favorite days out of the 3,546 days we have spent together so far! Below is a picture of us in September 2016 off to homecoming, our real first dance together :)
