Our Wedding

January of our senior year of high school is when it all began. At first, it was a just a crush. I would text him after every basketball game, but for some reason he still didn't get the hint that I liked him... but everything changed March, 7th 2013. I can still feel my stomach fill with butterflies when I opened his note in 6th period Calculus. When I opened the note, it asked if I wanted to go to prom with him (of course I said yes). After that day, we continued to talk more and more. Finally, the day of prom changed our lives forever. We had such a fun day and night with all of our friends. Gabe held my hand, and I thought I was going to faint because I was so nervous. Once prom was over, the next day we talked to each other because we knew there was something more between us. The summer before our freshman year of college was the most memorable and sad time of our lives. As we hung out almost every day, eventually we had to say goodbye. It was heartbreaking, but we knew that God had amazing plans for us as we went our separate ways for the next four years. We decided to wait to "officially" date until we knew it could work despite our distance. On October 11th, 2013, Gabe made his first trip 300 miles east to Iowa City, where he officially asked me to be his girlfriend. After that, we had countless road trips to see each other during the weekends, but all the miles were worth it. Three years later, we are still falling more and more in love with each other despite our distance. God has taught us so much about ourselves and each other through this journey of a long distance relationship, and we are so grateful for everything that He has blessed us with.
