Miya & Jeff, you were cutting it really close. Your email arrived in my mailbox at 11:59PM. Whew! Our one last story for the night.
Couple #4: Miya & Jeff's Story
We were sixteen years old when we first met...
To make an epic story (a tad) more concise, Jeff and I had admired one another from afar for almost a year before we were set up by our close friends. I needed a date for my junior prom. Jeff's best friends were dating my closest girlfriends at the time and they all thought it would be a great idea to get us to go to prom together. It was the night that started everything. We instantly clicked and conversations flowed like water. From that night on, we were inseparable. We spent the rest of our high school career together, young, and crazy in love. When it was time to start thinking about college, I decided to follow him and attend the same college he was planning on attending. Awesome decision for an eighteen year old in the midst of her first love, right?? Not so much (duh).
We spent the majority of our freshman year in college fighting like cats and dogs. While in love, we were too young to think to compromise in order to make our relationship work. We both knew that we would always love each other, but right before Thanksgiving of our sophomore year in college, we decided it was no longer a healthy choice for us to stay together.
During the time we were apart we were able to focus on ourselves and finishing school. In addition, we both dated around and enjoyed being single, for a while. We reunited nearly two years later and have been together ever since. It has been over ten years.
This past December a few days before Christmas he proposed by taking me to all of the significant places in our relationship and then asking me on a park bench. It was perfect, for us.
