 Lorie and Kyle's Love Story

High School Sweethearts

Where and How We Met 

We went to school together since third grade, but never really became friends until junior year in high school. During senior year, we were both in Service Learning (a program that puts you out in your community at a site pertaining to your career interest). For this class, we had to have a certain number of volunteer hours every few weeks. Both of us worked and went to school, so we didn't really have a lot of time for volunteer activities. So, we volunteered for about an hour a day at a local business called Macon Helps, similar to Goodwill.

How We Fell In Love 

During all the hours that we spent and worked together, we became very good friends, which eventually led to more. We fell hard and fast for one another from there. We are now in college (2 hours away from each other), but we plan to get married next summer, and I'm going to transfer to his school. He's my dream come true, my best friend, and my everything.
