We met in 2009 in Hood Hall at Plattsburgh State University. We clicked pretty quickly and attended parties together with our group of friends. Over time our friendship strengthened beyond partying and we had our Sunday movie nights and binge-watched trashy reality TV shows together. Though romance never blossomed in college, after graduation we lived down the street from each other and our friendship picked up right where it left off. As time went on, we grew closer and before we knew it we were dating. It hasn't been the easiest road, as life can be funny that way. But it sure has been a love that exceeded anything we ever could have imagined.
