In high school there were popular kids, and there were people that were not so popular. Noah and I were not the same classification during our teenage years... I will let you draw your own conclusions for who was what.

When I was a freshman and Noah was a sophomore, I had been asked by him to have my number. I mean he was an upper classmen so of course I gave it to him. We talked via text and Snap Chat for maybe a week, and then he lost interest and we went through the next few years knowing of each other but nothing more.

The spring of my senior year I received a Snap Chat from "Noah N." again those feelings of the cool upperclassmen rushed over me... okay fine, I was not the popular one in high school. Because I didn't want to seem desperate, I waited a little while to open it (probably like 20 minutes, but it felt like forever). Come to find out, the only reason he Snap Chatted me in the first place was because I was "Courtney #2" in his phone and he wasn't sure who I was.

After the first snap to distinguish who his contact was, we started talking pretty much everyday, we went on our first date to a concert at the Ogden in Denver on April 16, 2016. It was a blizzard outside, it was so bad they were planning on canceling the concert but they didn't... Noah got stuck in my driveway and I had to shovel him out, we like keep things pretty romantic!

We were both convinced this was just a summer love, as I was enlisted to go into the Coast Guard. Obviously, things didn't go as planned. In June, I asked Noah: "What do I tell people that ask me if we are dating?". He replied "Oh you are my girlfriend". So we consider that to be our anniversary.

To me 'High School Sweethearts' doesn't describe what I found when I found Noah. He is my High School Soulmate, it is just a plus I get to marry the popular, cool kid.
