We met through a mutual friend in March of 2021. We explored the nature parks in the near area and talked for hours and hours until the sun started to set. Only two weeks later we were a couple. We bonded over our love for nature and grew close through every new adventure we experienced together. We traveled, we hiked, we talked and soon fell in love. Through meeting one another’s families, our friendship we had solidified, only grew. We learned to manage our household together, began new careers and explored ways to give back to our community. While tackling our new lives and learning our responsibilities within the world, we deepened our friendship and relationship together through God. Now, as we embark on the greatest adventure of all, we remind ourselves, this is only the beginning of forever.
