Danny and I met in 2015 at a high school football game when a mutual friend and the best man, Anthony Johnson, introduced us together. I know what you’re thinking…10 years is a long time to have a crush on someone. We hit it off as friends and were set to go to the same high school until Danny’s mother, Paula, was transferred for her job to the west side of the state. Danny and I remained friends all throughout high school and college. We had been seeing each for some time before Danny moved to Portland for his job and 10 months later was stuck with the decision of either staying on the West side of the country or moving back closer to his friends and family. Before having to make his decision about where he was going to end up I asked him out to sushi and gave him the ultimatum to go steady since I couldn’t be friends with someone I was falling in love with. Thankfully he said ‘yes’ and the rest was history!
