Pedro and I first met in Will Rogers High School in Tulsa. Pedro was in 10th grade and I was in 11th. We had Drama together the first time we met. The next school year, we shared gym class the second time around. During class I would say that Pedro was my boyfriend (manifesting much?). However, I graduated high school and went out-of-state for college straight away.

We met again by chance 4 years after I graduated college in May 2020 at our neighborhood Target. Pedro was with his sister and I was with my mother. As we walked by each other, I smiled shyly and kept walking. Pedro took the chance and said, "So you aren't gonna say hi?" I said, "yeah." We briefly made small talk and I told him, "When the pandemic is over we can see a movie. You have my messenger," and walked away. Pedro did not message me until 2 days later. While the pandemic was not over, we had our first date not long after. We walked around downtown Tulsa taking snapchats and catching up with each others lives.

From then on, we have completed many milestones, including new jobs, graduating school, moving in together and raising 3 cats. Now we are completing a new milestone: marriage. We have spent our early adulthood together and now we get to spend the rest of our lives together as a family.

Above photo is one of our first pictures we have together.
