Boy Meets Girl: 

Jared and I met through a mutual friend, Cameron. Cameron and I had been friends since our early teen years, when he made the decision to go to San Diego State University, he met Jared. Jared and Cam became instant friends and became roommates their Sophomore year of college. Jared and I met at the Olwell's house over Spring Break in 2009, by June of that year, Jared and I were two peas in a pod. 

Boy and Girl fall in LOVE: 

I think it's extremely difficult to pinpoint the exact moment that you fall in love with someone. The first moment I saw him, I thought, "Good Job, Cameron!" but, I wouldn't call that love... What I can tell you is this: Jared and I were both very eager to say those three words. We held out as long as we could replacing "I love you" with "I <3 you" in text messages, but after a weekend in Lake Tahoe for the 4th of July, we just could not wait any longer. July 5, 2009 marks the date that, "I love you" was said for the first time.

 FIVE things I love about Jared:

1. He's my very own Superman and Prince Charming rolled into one (jars, bugs and evil-doers beware!) 

2. He makes me a better person

3. How he takes care of our pup, Apollo, and my younger cousins (I just know that he's going to be the best dad one day) 

4. He out nerds me

5. He never ceases to amaze me

FIVE things I love about Cesyli: 

1. Her drive to get things done; she does enough planning for the both of us

2. That she Loves the great outdoors.  

3. Her beautiful smile, especially when she is in the middle of proving a point

4. Her creativity and the beautiful crafts she makes

5. She knows that Super Nintendo is the best console.  

When did SHE know that HE was "the one?"

They say that, "when you know, you know," when it came to Jared, I just knew. The first time he held me in his arms, I thought that "if I could feel that secure on my wedding day, I'd be one lucky girl."

When did HE know SHE was "the one?"  

As we spent time together and eventually moved in together, the problems that face millions of couples never even occurred to us.  That's how I knew.
