We met at church as children in the 90s. Ty's grandfather was our Pastor and baptized us both. I sang in the youth choir and Ty played the drums. We would take church trips together and our families became close. We remained friends throughout our youth, during college and into adulthood. It wasn't until 2011 that Ty confessed his 'childhood crush' and we began hanging out. From that day forward, we were inseparable and officially started dating in 2012 after a weekend trip to DC.
