We are high school sweethearts who met at 17. I was a junior and Coleman was a senior. We had been going to school together since 6th grade, but never hung around the same group of friends. Around October 2017, we went to a mutual friends house for a bonfire, where we sat next to each other and started talking. We were by each others side for the rest of the night. We exchanged phone numbers and did not stop texting each other from that day. We started hanging out more often, and seeing eachother constantly. He eventually asked me to be his girlfriend on January 27, 2018. We met each others family, went on family vacations together, and helped each other finish out high school. We were able to witness each other graduate high school and go on to college where we spent countless nights together doing homework. We started hanging out with a group of friends who would eventually turn into our life long friends. We helped eachother through college, moved into a house together in Chattanooga with some of our closest friends while we finished school, and graduated college together in May 2023. A few days later, we went on a post graduation trip to the beach where he proposed! It has been the best six years together full of growth, vacations, and love, and can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us.
