Michael and I always knew of each other throughout our years in grade school but grew to be friends in our 8th-grade math class.

We started hanging out in the same friend group. Shoutout Kyle, a long time friend of the both of us, who will be our officiant and a groomsman on our special day.

We made a bet that if we were both 30 and single we would reach out and finally start dating. We shook on it at McDonald's over some chicken nuggets.

We finally started dating on December 26th, when Michael asked me to be his girlfriend in his parent's basement (while we were watching TV). He's always been sooo romantic.

We've been on many adventures and dates since then. Blended has always been one of our favorite date spots.
