Freshman year we both lived in the Oak building at UNCC. I lived in room 302 and Tyler lived in room 202. One day my roommates and I get a knock on the door. When we open the door Tyler and his roommates were on the other side in search of ketchup. Lucky for him, we had just grabbed a handful from the student union. After giving a ridiculous amount of ketchup to Tyler and his roommates they continued to come up to hang out. By the end of the year Tyler and I were spending everyday together. Once summer started we both moved home, visiting each other as much as possible. After two weeks apart we started dating and have been dating since. The photo above is from our first putt putt game (that I obviously won) on the day that we “became official”. It’s been an amazing 4 years and I cannot wait for so many more.

Our story started with me asking Peyton for ketchup in our freshman year dorms and many late night Taco Bell runs together. We spent basically the rest of our freshman year together until we went home for the summer. I then went to go visit her and meet her family in South Charlotte (where I was blown away by how the local McDonalds was nicer than anywhere I have ever eaten) and we played putt putt and Peyton made up all of her scores and said she won. She did not win, but then we started dating after that.

We later got a hyperactive dog named Miller from some crazy lady in Rocky Mount and accidentally drove to Virginia on the way back. We have a bad history of going to the wrong place as we accidentally took a train into Switzerland after getting engaged in Italy.

I can’t wait to continue the story.
