Our Wedding

Gus and I first met in high school. He was a cross-country runner and Chesley was friends with another cross country runner, Mason. Next thing, Gus and I were friends. We would hang out in groups but somehow always ended up hanging out alone from late night rides to taco bell to get food for friends or exploring a rooftop together talking. Throughout this time, there were little moments where we recognized this could be more than a friendship, but the timing was never quite right. Until... one Christmas break. My bestie and I, Katherine, were visiting our friend Mason but I was secretly visiting my crush, Gus (and mason). We all hung out and played games, and naturally we started to hit it off and this opened the door to multiple couple jokes. We were teased all night (both pretending to hate it). Eventually, the party died down and everyone left and we talked the whole night. This was it, our big moment :) We both went home for Christmas break and he was brave enough to text me and I was brave enough to answer. And we have been inseparable since. We returned to college and started the unending series of driving back and forth from Wyoming and Fort Collins. We discovered our shared love for family, pizza, camping, fishing (mainly him), driving, swimming, horses, and studying (mainly me). And eventually we discovered love for each other. Through this love and both wanting to be better for the other, we grew closer to God. And it's been love and God ever since !
