We first met in middle school back in 2009. Katie moved to Bellefonte and the two of us met shortly after through mutual friends. We both liked each other and flirted back and forth for the next couple years but never ended up in a relationship before Russel and his family moved to Virginia in 2011. One day, Katie was thinking about Russel a lot and decided to reach out after all that time with no contact. We started talking a lot and before long, on July 18th 2013, Russel asked Katie to be his girlfriend. It's been nearly 9 years full of wonderful memories. We can't wait to begin our next chapter and share a lifetime of special moments together.
