•Our Stories•

I met Michael when I was a freshman in high school and we started dating shortly after. We've gone through quite a bit together and shared almost all of our "firsts". I can't imagine anyone else I'd rather spend forever with. We got engaged when I was sixteen and have lived together since shortly after that. Our marriage plans have been put on hold several times and I don't want to jinx what we have planned now with announcing it just yet. So to sum us up, we are a happily engaged 19 + 20 year old couple living together and loving life. (:

My boyfriend and I hung out in the same group of friends for nearly a year without ever talking to each other. We finally started talking mid-January of 2007, and began dating two weeks later, February 3, 2007. I was 16 and he was 17 and in his last semester of high school. That fall he started college, and the following year I went to [a different] college. Now we're 21 and 22 years old, he's about to graduate with a BA in Sociology and I'm set to graduate May 2012 with a BS in Physics and Astronomy. In the past 4 years we've both changed and grown up in many ways, and in some regards we are completely different people now than we were at the beginning of our relationship. But we've loved going through all those changes together, and have been lucky enough to grow closer over time.
We're not engaged and I honestly don't know if we'll be getting engaged soon or if it'll be a few more years... it really depends on when it makes sense given other factors in our lives. But regardless of when a proposal and wedding happen, we know we're both in it for the long haul.

We met in high school and were good friends. Our friends started asking if we were dating. We weren't, but we decided to give it a try. This 'try' has lasted for over four years now, we have been living together for the last two. We're thinking of getting married after we have finished school, but marriage is not that important to us.

Shawn and I met at age 17 during our Senior year in high school. At first we went to different colleges for a semester but he transferred to be with me. He was then deployed to Iraq for 18 months. We struggled and it was long and difficult, but our relationship never was an issue. Leaving each other wasn't an option we even considered. We got our own place as soon as he came back from Iraq. We had lived with my mother for almost a year prior to that. 6 and a half years after we met we became engaged. one year later we married. We have now been married for 2 years and have been together for nearly 10. He's working on a Phd in chemistry and I have a Master's in clinical social work and work as a therapist that specializes in diagnostics and trauma treatment. We're currently trying for our first child.
