“Where there is love there is life.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Starting our freshman year of high school we both had the same idea of joining the schools JROTC program. We saw each other in passing and attended the same events. Our friendship really began our Junior year of high school when Tyger asked me to the annual Cadet ball as friends. Of course, I said yes and that's when we began hanging out on a daily basis. Fast forward to our senior year of high school and Tyger built the courage to ask me to be his girlfriend. We already got along like peanut butter and jelly and spent every day together so the answer was clear. Along came our second cadet ball together but this time, we were a real couple. Now he's in the United States Marine Corps, and we both packed our things and moved across the country together. We've been through Hurricane Florence, moving to two new houses, adopting our Puppy Scooby Doo, and built a whole new life together. We're continuing our adventure and we're so excited about what the future holds.
