We met in 2019 during high school when were in 10th and 12th grade. We met in AP biology class and immediately became friends. Sadly, this in-person class was cut short due to COVID-19. Once covid calmed down we would go on to hang out in groups outside of school, even after Luke graduated.

Fast forward to my senior year and we are around each other more than ever. Our friend groups began to merge and the feelings for each other began. For months, we knew we liked each other but were scared to talk about it. After all, we were both moving away very shortly.

One random Friday night, it all clicked for us. We knew we couldn't ignore what we were feeling. We knew we would regret it if we never tried. So we did. We took a leap of faith knowing Luke was leaving for Texas in January. On September 9th, 2021 we began boyfriend and girlfriend.

On January 15th, 2022 we would start a three-year long-distance journey as Luke chased his dreams and moved across the country. The long-distance journey has been nothing short of difficult but so rewarding. Our love and dedication for one another has grown every day.

After two and a half years of dating, we got engaged on June 1st, 2024! We are so excited to start our life together and can't wait to see what God has in store for the rest of our story.
