We are high school sweethearts who have been in love for over 16 years. It feels like just yesterday that we met in our 6th period art class. I swear we blinked. Over the years, we’ve learned that love isn’t always the grand gestures. It’s about the small every day moments that most people overlook. Like Eric turning up the volume every time my favorite band comes on or running into the grocery store to get me chocolate covered pretzels - again. It’s holding each other up during hard times. It’s cuddling during scary movies. It’s falling asleep together. It’s a million little things that happen every day. And in the end, we know that growing old together will be the best thing we ever do.
