Joseph and I started dating on December 10th, 2015 during our junior year of high school, and we have been through so much together since then! I am so lucky to have had him by my side for over 5 years now. Joseph and I met through mutual friends back in the summer before that junior year. He was big into fish at the time, and, before I had even met him, he was taking care of some fish I had just been gifted. A few weeks later, we were introduced at one of his indoor soccer games where I insisted he come hang out at sonic afterwords. There, I threw some whipped cream on his car and the rest is history...
But really, we got to know each more and more as time went on and he finally asked me out! We have grown so much since those times, and I truly believe he has helped me become the best version of myself. He inspires me everyday to grow, learn, and push myself to be better than yesterday. I can't imagine where my life would be without him today! I love you lots, Joseph!
Below are some (awkward) photos of a few highlights of our relationship and how we have grown throughout the years! Feel free to check them out!
