My boyfriend and I have known each other since 8th grade. 

We dated up until the beginning of 11th grade. We got back together again my freshman year of college and have been together ever since. 

My grandmother passed away last April and Steve, being the amazing boyfriend he is, bought her house for us because he knew how much it meant to me. We have been living here since the beginning of July. Living and building a home together has been a great experience.

Steve works full time to pay for the house, while I work part time, commute to college, and am involved in a great sorority.
