We met in Mrs. Donaldson's third grade class, which is such a good story that Ashley herself didn't believe it until we dug out our class picture. But we actually didn't start dating until the summer before 11th grade. That was more than eight years ago now! We survived five years of long distance during college - Blake went to Ohio U, and Ashley went to Butler. Now, we live together in Colorado with our good boy Rocco. On our eighth anniversary, on vacation in Maine's Acadia National Park, Blake proposed during a perfect sunrise. We love that we get to celebrate our love with some of the most special people in our lives on October 15th! #MakerHerABaker
