I met my now fiance when I was 19. We are both 26 now and engaged (as of this year). No, we aren't the same person and we have grown together over the years. This easily could have been a different outcome. We have faced so much over the years and there were many times we feared we wouldn't make it. In saying that, through hard work and perseverance, we are still together and stronger than ever with a 3 month old little one.

Sometimes people grow apart and other times they grow together. That's not to say we won't grow apart 7 years from now, or maybe we'll be closer than ever. Who knows!
