I have a deep obsession with love.

It all started the summer before my senior year in high school when I realized I loved Matt Oholendt. He was one of my closest friends and he was moving away and I was devastated. I watched his parent’s car pull away from their house that early morning and I remember it hurt so badly I felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest. That was the day I realized that I loved him; not just a best-friend-love but I loved him. Heart and soul.

Three years later, and a lot of denial in the middle, we kissed. Two years after that we said our vows.

And today, almost 4 years after our wedding day, we are happier today than we were then.

This is my love story. I would be honored to tell yours.
