Seth and I first met in high school during our junior year. Although we knew each other and had several classes with one another during that first year, we never talked more than casually until the second semester of our senior year. We began to talk more after Seth reached out to me over Facebook. At the time I was hosting a fundraiser, and Seth asked me how he could help with it, mentioning that he admired my heart behind the project. This is when we began to talk more frequently; it didn't take long for me to realize that he was something special once we began to get to know each another better! He later asked me on dates to the county fair, the movies, and bowling. Ever since we decided to start dating on July 11, 2015, we have been inseparable, and have had the privilege to grow together as individuals and as a couple through our relationship. My and Seth's relationship has been one of the most rewarding journeys of our lives, but it hasn't always been easy. In fall 2015 I left to Denver for college. We've had to work through the many challenges and hardships that accompany long-distance, but the experience throughout our four years of college has molded us into the couple that we are today. Long-distance has taught us how to trust one another whole heartedly and how to use our words to the best of their ability when words were all we had. We have learned that every moment with one another should be cherished because we know how hard the periods of extended absence from each other are. Perhaps the most important thing we have learned is the value of finding a friend in the person you love, because friendship keeps the flame alive on love's lazy days. Seth and I LOVE adventure! We enjoy kayaking, camping, hiking, scuba diving, and anything that pushes us out of our comfort zones and urges us to experience life to the fullest. And who better to have these experiences with than the one I am honored and blessed to be joined in marriage to!
