Our story began at Saint Louis University during our first year of college. We started as acquaintances, just sharing engineering classes in the first semester. Things changed when our other friends got busy with extracurriculars, leaving us behind. I remember how Albert started walking me home after study sessions, and from there, our friendship grew deeper. There was a spark between us- a mutual feeling that we couldn't ignore. Then, in the last month of that semester, as I was about to leave for my hometown, Albert insisted on accompanying me to the bus terminal. That's when he confessed his feelings while holding my hand. At that moment, I knew I felt the same way. From that point on, our relationship blossomed. Despite the challenges and changes we faced over the eight years that followed, we always chose to support and love each other. And now, as we approach our "forever anniversary" on May 15th, we're excited to embark on the next chapter of our lives together.
