One day in my eighth grade history class, the cutest blonde haired, blue eyed boy I had ever seen hobbled into the room on crutches after a go-kart accident. I sat in the second seat back on the far left. Our teacher placed him in a totally empty row, in the second seat back and for some reason that whole row faced a different direction than the others. I always joke that he had no other option but to look at me.

We dated all through middle school and highschool, but broke up during college. We didn't speak for over ten years. Our best shared memory has to be reconnecting after everything we had been through and realizing how much we missed eachother. When we finally met back up, it was definitely an epic reunitement of Notebook worthy proportions.

We've spent the last four years making extensive repairs on our home. In August '22 we had to replace our AC system for $15k. In October '22, we had a huge sewage back up in multiple rooms and had to pay $20k for the plumbing repairs. We also had to live in a hotel for 8 mths while they made the repairs! Then in May '24, we had to pay $10k worth of electrical updates so we could get electricity turned back on after a storm left us without power for 3 weeks. Would love to be able to pay off debt!
