This is the earliest picture we could find of us as friends from way back when. We had already been good friends for about a year at this point! We met in 8th grade and quickly became very close.

Prom of Junior Year (H: I was desperate for him to ask me to prom. He did not.)

The majority of our free time was spent either hanging out with each other or together with friends.

Senior Prom (We ended up driving around Hot Springs until like 2am before going to IHOP)

Highschool Graduation (Ryan moved to Nebraska our senior year but we still stayed close by texting and FaceTiming)

After graduation, we both got pretty busy with life. Haley with college and Ryan with working. We ended up doing our own things but would always text each other on birthdays. Anytime he was down in Arkansas, we made sure to see each other.

Then at our really good friend's wedding, we got reconnected! We talked at the wedding, got lunch the next day, and ended up hanging out just talking for several hours.

Haley made a trip up to Omaha and while she was there, things clicked! We decided we wanted to try and be something, we just didn't know how to navigate the distance (Ryan was in Nebraska, Haley was in Arkansas).

Ryan came down to Hot Springs and we made it official!

We managed to navigate the long distance pretty well. We alternated our trips going up or coming down until finally...

...Ryan made the crazy decision to move back down to Arkansas! So with a lot of help, he got moved back down and settled in! (Trailer Left. IYKYK.)

And so the shenanigans began-again!

We've absolutely loved getting to live life together (thankfully at a much closer distance) these past couple of years.

We've spent ten years making each other laugh, and we're just a little bit excited for many more years of laughing at stupid jokes together.

Ryan (finally) popped the question, and that's why you're reading this! We're gettin' married! We guess you could say we're kind of happy or whatever.

To be continued...
