We first met as teenagers through a mutual friend at just 15 and 16 years old. We spent countless days talking about everything and anything, staying up until the early hours of the morning because there was never enough time in the day to say it all. On October 24th, 2010, David asked me to be his girlfriend while we sat on the park swings. A moment that marked the beginning of our journey together. Since then, we have navigated school and college, landed our first jobs, passed our driving tests, had multiple homes, had our babies, got our first pets, and experienced so much more. We didn’t just grow up side by side, we grew up with each other and our families. We’ve shared every high and low, embraced parenthood, and learned along the way. Relationships aren’t always easy, but we made a promise to always be a team. Now, 15 years later, on our anniversary, we will be getting married, officially marking half of my life spent with David. Our team has grown to four (plus Blue, of course), with our amazing boys, and as we continue this journey, we’ll keep learning, growing, and supporting each other just as we always have.
