but lets rewind  a little

We met Junior year of high school because we had an English project together. I remember finally noticing him because he brought a frozen chicken to school. One of the first things he told me about himself was that he wanted to be a pilot.

He told  me he liked me at the SC state fair on the ski lift.

A week later (during our senior year) he called me from wild wings cafĂ© and asked me if we “uh you know wanted to try the whole dating thing”.

we graduated highschool together

We had our first kiss after a year of dating.

We went to college together and both studied humanities. (Those are my class notes, the second picture is acting class).

We graduated college together ( graduated a semester after charley because he was super smart and finished early)

He finished his culinary program at the same time.

He proposed in a pirate costume and buried my ring in a treasure chest. I had to complete a treasure hunt with clues written on scraps of leather.

We then were engaged for over a year.

We have traveled to Puerto Rico x 2, France, Germany, Italy x 2, Switzerland, Austria, and Lebanon together
