Believe it or not, us lovebirds went to middle school together. While Rachel will say they were friendly, Lauren swears they never spoke a word. Years later, we ended up at the same graduation party where Rachel was determined to get to know Lauren. However, getting to know Lauren didn't happen until 3 years later which was the spark to start dating for the first time. It was a short romance but the end of that allowed a beautiful friendship to blossom. We were the best of friends for 5 years until we both decided we wanted to give "us" another shot. We did...and well here we are! Both of us knew we were meant to be and even though it took a bit, we are happy to have had the time to grow. We are so excited to share our love and story with all of you!
