Turns out I don't take many selfies,so this is me like 3 months ago, ha. One- I'm engaged to my 'high school sweetheart' or what my sister called 'my first love'. and as much of a cliché that sounds, I met him when I was like 14 and we dated for 5 weeks.. Skip 15 years of complicated details (for now) aaaand ...
