More recently, Hannah and I have gotten to work with multiple couples that were born and raised in our small town. People who we share so many things with… those awkward middle school years that we all try to forget, rolling multi-colored tissue paper until midnight to make sure our class won the homecoming float contest, and walking down the hill onto our football field together in the pouring down rain as we graduated high school. Although everyone went different directions, it seems so natural to meet up again to celebrate even more milestones like getting married and having babies.

Alex and Ryan are one of those couples. I still distinctly remember having Alex sit behind me in my 6th grade science class. We were so small, but we had so many big dreams… Alex and Ryan got married soon after we graduated as Ryan went into the military. They have lived many different places as he has served our country, have had the cutest little boy on the planet, Jack, and have another baby on the way!!

We can’t wait to see what you guys do next! We loved getting to hang with you guys again. We are so proud of you both!
