Our story began in August, 2008, at Fox Middle School. We met through band, our only hobby together. At first Nick and I were not at all good friends. Nick teased me every chance he got, and I thought "This guy is the biggest jerk I've ever met!" I spent most of my 7th grade year avoiding him. In 8th grade, however, Nick and I hit it off. We found it so easy to talk to one another, it was as if we had known each other for 1000 years. A year following the friendship, we decided to start dating. Everyone told us, that our relationship would not last, that it would be one of many, but I think we could both tell you, that there was no one else out there for us. There was nothing that could bring us apart. Looking back at the first year we met, I think I knew he was going to be the one who stole my heart, and I'm glad he did.
