We first met in high school when we were a part of the same friend group. We all spent so much time together and we became such good friends. We were chem partners our junior year (when I did most of the work). We graduated high school and went off to college in 2012. Ty went to Ohio University and I went to The Ohio State University. Ty visited OSU a few times freshmen year and came to love it (who wouldn't?). Sophomore year, Ty transferred to Ohio State and that started the beginning of our relationship.
As everyone knows, the 4th of July is my favorite holiday! We went out with a group of friends for Red, White, and Boom on July 3rd. Apparently, Ty was carrying the ring around with him this night but it just didn't feel like the right time to him. The next day, we went out to dinner then to the Gahanna fireworks. During the grand finale, Ty got down on one knee, and I can't even remember what happened after that because I was so excited!
