We met in high school. We'd see each other at a mutual friend's gatherings, briefly exchange pleasantries, but didn't know much about each other. A few years later we both coincidentally ended up at the University of Vermont. In college, we would occasionally see each other around campus, waving politely in acknowledgement. When our mutual friends came to visit, we'd join forces to show them a good time, but for three years we were just acquaintances. In May 2014 a group of our friends visited again and we went to a party. Danny boldly put his arm around me. After our friends left, we continued to spend time together. But soon after, it was time for Danny to go home to NJ for the summer. We still talked every day and made multiple visits to one another. At the end of summer when it was time for Danny to complete his final year of college, we decided there was something there...Yada, yada, yada, here we are today.
