This is our first selfie together! We became friends in pre-calculus our junior year of high school. We had some mutual friends before that but this was the beginning of our friendship! Aiden would sit behind Caroline during class and ask for her homework! Very noble of him ;)

This was from our first date. We got Mcdonald's breakfast in the morning and later on we went ice skating! Unfortunately, I only have videos of us skating so this picture will sum up the day. After ice skating we went to the beach to look at the stars, and we saw a shooting star! I guess our wishes have come true since then!

We officially started dating on the night of homecoming. We did not go together but we spent the whole night dancing and hanging out at homecoming, it was very fun. Aiden dropped Caroline off at home and said "so are we dating yet?" and Caro just laughed and said yes!

We were able to sit next to each other at our high school graduation due to COVID, so we are very thankful for this. To be able to walk off that stage with our diplomas, while holding hands was the best feeling ever!

This is our first selfie when we moved in together. We originally lived with Tyler and Kaleb, and then Sarah took Kalebs room eventually! Then Kennedy also moved in. It was a fun time with our friends :) We had a little 3-bedroom apartment in Melbourne FL. Caroline took college classes online the first 2 years of college due to covid, and Aiden was working at Publix.

PROPOSAL DAY! Here is the story: Aiden & Caroline were both baptized this day. Due to the Lord moving in our lives, changing our perspectives on many things within our relationship and everyday life, we wanted to make a public declaration of our Faith. Aiden was planning on being baptized but Caroline was on the fence and decided to do it essentially the day of. (She was debating back and forth since she has already been baptized). Anyways, right after we got baptized, we were taking pictures and he proposed! No one knew he was doing it except his great grandma, mom, and Ant. (and they only knew 5 minutes beforehand.) (way to give Kati and Mike a heart attack- lol) The reason he decided to do it so spur of the moment is; The night before Aiden was praying about his future; he wanted to propose but he did not have the funds for a ring or a plan. The next day his great-grandmother comes up with this ring! It was his great great grandmas ring and she said "I feel like you should have this to propose to Caroline whenever you feel like you're ready." And Aiden thought about it and the coincidence and decided to propose that day! We are so thankful that God has put us together. Woohooo

We decided to plan our wedding between Caroline graduating with her bachelor's and starting grad school. After talking with our parents, getting the official approval, we decided on June 9, 2024. We know it will be perfect and are counting down the days!

Aiden moves to Ohio! Aiden had gone through many financial hardships (his motorcycle being stolen and car breaking) and his parents offered to have him move up to Ohio and recover from all of that. So we decided that it would be best for our future if we sacrificed about a year of our lives so Aiden can save up money (he has saved so much on rent and food) and with this opportunity, he has been able to buy a car! He has started a job as a FedEx delivery driver and he loves it! Ohio has treated him well since he has moved up but we are so ready for it to be May so he can come back! (that is our set deadline for saving/ him being able to fully pay off his motorcycle).

Aiden came to Florida for an engagement photoshoot and to visit. Still anxiously counting down the days! We cannot wait to spend the rest of our lives together and finally live together again.
