Justin and I met when we were 14 years old at Freshman Orientation! We always had lockers near each other and started to become friends during our junior year. During summer leading up to our Senior year in high school, we began getting to know each other and spending more time together. We started officially dating on August 21, 2017. We spent every second of senior year together. After high school, we both went our separate ways determined to make long distance work. We saw each other on holidays and summer breaks. We spent three years apart and continued to pursue each other. We both graduated from MSU Denver in May of 2023. Justin took at job for Empower and I am a teacher in Westminster. I said YES to marry Justin on October 28th, 2023. We are so beyond excited for our futures together and we are encouraged by each other every day.
