A Decade of Love

To the Moon and Back

How it all started... We met on an online dating website, though we were both ready to give up on the dating game for a bit, we saw something in each others profiles that made us stop in our tracks. Timing wasn't the greatest as we were both embarking on a pivotal endeavor for our lives and careers. So our relationship took time to build strong stepping stones, but once those stones were cemented in we were unstoppable! Just mere months after becoming "official" we were traveling out of the country and that first trip sparked the love for adventure in the both of us and we quickly discovered exactly how much we were meant for each other. Since that first trip, we have experienced many firsts for each of us as a couple or just individually that we crave the ability to travel somewhere new or try something different as much as possible. The sheer joy to be had just knowing we have the same interests when it comes to traveling, that alone builds a strong foundation for our relationship. Traveling isn't the only thing we have in common though, a lot of our beliefs and morals are aligned. Though we are the same zodiac sign (which most would say we would never make it because of that fact alone) we do have an age gap that helps us to be so connected but also have enough variance to become the yin to the others yang. Because of that minor difference, we have sparked a life together neither of us dreamt to be 100% possible. Just like every couple we have been through our ups and downs, but we have been lucky enough to experience an over abundance of the ups that when we do have a "down" moment, we are never down for very long and we always find the most positive outcome TOGETHER. But that is who we are, we will always and forever find the solution to whatever life brings us as one. No one is perfect, but we would definitely say we are perfect for each other. But that is the key right? Each couple that is truly in love will always find perfection in the one they love. We can be the biggest goofs and most grown children at times, but when we need to be the responsible adult Jason usually is the one to step up. But we are each others true love and no matter what, we will forever put each other first in life. And here we are, 10 years later and we fall in love with each other deeper and deeper every single day. These past 10 years have been filled with countless memories, firsts and intense laugh sessions that have made us who we are as individuals but also as a couple. Believe it or not, love at first sight does exist, we can attest to that as we only had sight to depend on in the beginning and we had to trust our instincts. But we also had to take the chance on each other and it's safe to say we would always take that chance on each other a million times over because we are fated to ALWAYS be together.
