As many of you know, we met in middle school but our love story didn’t start quite yet. We first met in sixth grade, not knowing that life would bring us back to each other years later. When Ryan moved away, our paths separated, but fate had other plans. Four years later, we reconnected, and what began as a simple reunion quickly grew into something deeper. Since then, we’ve faced challenges, changes, and plenty of curveballs-yet every step only brought us closer. Together we’ve learned, grown, and built a family. What started as two middle school classmates has become a lasting partnership.
