Our Story, the highs, the lows, the love🤎
We met back in 2018 through mutual friends but barely talked. Fast forward to 2019 — sophomore year — we started having classes together and somehow went from quiet classmates to best friends in no time.
By March 2020, we made it official. Through every stage of high school, he was there. When I had to switch to cyber school my junior year for medical reasons, he never missed a beat — always checking in, always cheering me on.
Of course, like any couple, we had a few small bumps along the way — a couple of short breaks in high school here and there — but we always found our way back to each other. Those little pauses never changed what we had; if anything, they made us stronger and more certain of us.
When I decided not to go to college and instead get my real estate license, he was my biggest supporter. Now in 2025, I’m in my third year as a realtor, and he’s graduating with his business degree this winter.
Earlier this year, we were so excited to find out we were expecting. Losing our baby was heartbreaking, but he stayed by my side. Although it’s something we will never forget, he is helping me heal and reminding me we can face anything together.
From 16 to almost 22, he’s been my best friend, my biggest supporter, and now… my fiancé ❤️💍
