In 2009 we were placed in the same homeroom class for the 6th grade. Back then we weren't exactly friends, but we often compared homework and test scores in math to see who did better.
In 2015 we went on or first date to see Mocking Jay in theaters. Shortly after, we started dating and we were set on going to the Junior Semi-Formal dance, which ended up being cancelled. But that was ok since our friend threw her own semi-formal party at her house.
Throughout our senior year we had one class together, went to both the homecoming dance and prom, and went snowboarding at Pats Peak multiple times. We decided, after much back and forth on Julia's part, to go to different colleges. She chose to go to UNH Manchester and he decided to go to New England College.
As many people are aware, we were not together the whole time we went through our undergrad degrees. In March of 2019 we reconnected and went back to one of our favorite dates, snowboarding at Pats Peak. After that we officially started dating again. About 3 weeks after restarting our relationship, Julia convinced David to go on his first cruise.
On June 8, 2019 we embarked from Miami on the MSC Seaside on a Caribbean cruise. On this cruise, the only excursion we went on was the Casa Bacardi in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Since then, our favorite vacations have been aboard MSC cruises.
We both graduated in May of 2020, David graduated with his B.S. in Criminal Justice and Julia graduated with her B.A. in Biological Sciences. David went on to secure a position at Concord Police Department. Julia got into the Doctor of Pharmacy Program at MCPHS University. Due to the nature the pandemic starting in 2020, we do not have many pictures of our graduations together. But we do have some from the 2020 NYE party that we went to, it was a 'Roaring 20's' theme.
In April of 2021, David purchased our condo, which is where we've called home for the past 2 years.
In February of 2022, within a 24 hour time frame we decided to get a dog, meaning David and his mom drove out and back to Pennsylvania in one day to pick up Henry. Some people may question why we would go so far just for a dog, well firstly he's cute, and second our condo HOA has rules on what types of pets are allowed and he was one of the breeds that we both agreed on.
In September of 2022, we decided to book a cruise for December of 2022 along with our new friends. This cruise embarked out of Port Canaveral on December 18 of 2022. This turned out to be the day that David decided to surprise propose to Julia, she of course said yes.
