We met when life was simpler—back in middle school, where awkward conversations and shy glances first laid the foundation of a lifelong connection. At first, we were just classmates, sharing hallways and homework, but over time, we became friends.

High school brought us closer. What started as casual studying after school soon became something more. The quiet hours with textbooks and snacks turned into heartfelt conversations and shared dreams. We didn’t realize it at the time, but love was slowly weaving its way into our friendship.

Then came January 15th 2016—when we officially started dating. That date will forever be etched in our hearts, marking the beginning of something truly special. Over the years, we grew together, learned from one another, and supported each other through life’s highs and lows.

We traveled, laughed, and explored side by side. One of our most unforgettable adventures led us to Colorado. It was August of 2023, surrounded by the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, where he knelt down with a ring, and asked the question that would change everything. With the mountains as witnesses and the sky smiling down, we got engaged.

Now, as we look back on a love that started so young and blossomed through the years, we know one thing for certain: our story is only just beginning.
