Love is in the air: a Valentine’s photo story
Garrett Ruroden and Maddy Trog
How did you meet? “We met the second week of school, and I was posting my posters around for Hall Council because I was running for Hall Council President, and I was on his floor, and him and all of his friends came out, and they’re like ‘Oh you’re running for President? We can be your campaign committee!’ And later, that night, they came up to my room and we were all just talking about random stuff. Then the next day, Garrett just friended me on Instagram, and Instagram dm’d me, asking me if I wanted to go get ice cream.” (Maddy)
What are your favorite things about each other? “Honestly, it would probably be her personality and the way that she brings the bright side of life to every single day, even when you’re feeling down.” (Garrett) “My favorite thing about Garrett is definitely how he can take any situation and make it into either a fun experience or a learning experience, and there’s never a moment that I spend with him that I don’t think is such a great memory, and even when we’re doing nothing, just talking, it’s my favorite thing in the whole entire world.” (Maddy)
What is your favorite memory together? “I like to do high-scale, upper class kinds of things, like fancy restaurants. And she got a pretty hefty plate of food, and she looks right at me, and tries to be super secretive about it, and goes, ‘I think I have the meats’ and one of the guys looks at her, and I thought that was really, funny.” (Garrett) “That’s so embarrassing (Laughs). Either when we were driving down to his hometown, and I was really tired, because it was a long day of school, and I declined the chair all the way back, and I was trying to take a nap, and this kid would not shut up. Literally he was talking to himself for thirty minutes on the way home. And I looked at him, and was like ‘Could you be quiet,’ and then he got even more hyper. But yeah, that really shows him all the time- he’s so hyper.” (Maddy)

She was and still is so beautiful and I thought she was way out of my league. I never thought in a million years she would even go on a second date, yet here we are a year and a half later.” (Silas) What is your favorite memory? “My favorite memory of Silas is him taking me to work on the farm with him and to see how happy he was to be around the animals and see how he grew up.” (Brooke) “My favorite memory was on a walk down by the lakes on a chilly September evening, the sun was setting and her smile on that night was all I needed to fall in love with her.” (Silas) What do you love most about each other? “I love that he’s there for me without me having to ask, he truly cares about me, and he not only tells me he loves me every single day, but I genuinely feel and see the love and it’s amazing to truly understand how blessed being in love truly is.” (Brooke) “The thing I love most about Brooke is her generous heart.
