We met in middle school at Hamburg, Arkansas, back in 6th grade. Little did we know that a friendship formed in those early years would eventually turn into a love that would last a lifetime. By 9th grade, on April 20th, 2016, we officially became a couple, and from that moment on, we’ve been inseparable. High school was filled with memories — he was the football player, and I was the cheerleader, but we quickly learned we made a perfect team. We both graduated from Hamburg High School in 2019, and our adventure continued at Arkansas State University, where we both pursued our careers in healthcare. He became a radiologic technologist in the cath lab, and I’m living my dream as an ICU nurse. Though life hasn’t always been easy, we’ve faced every challenge head-on, always side by side. We’ve been through so much together, but each experience has only made our bond stronger. Now, we live in Jonesboro with our lovable dog, Scout, and we continue to build our life together with the same love and joy we’ve always shared. Our journey may have started in middle school, but every chapter since then has been filled with growth, laughter, and endless support for one another. We can’t wait to see what the future holds, and we are so excited to begin this next chapter of our lives.
