Pat and I have been friends since we were in middle school and best friends since high school. Our lockers were two away from each other and we shared many laughs together, but always remained just friends. While in college, Pat and I were always in contact with each other and planned parties with our friends during the college breaks. It was not until our senior year of college that we started to become more than friends. We bonded over our love of The Office and seemed to constantly be in contact. Pat made the first move by telling me that he liked me. Considering that he told me this on his 21st birthday, I did not believe him! We continued to be friends until we kissed at midnight on New Year's Eve 2016. However, we then had to go back to our separate schools to finish out senior year and figure out what to do in our post-grad lives. For those of you who were around at the time, you know that things were a bit complicated while we lived in different parts of the state. After a lot of "on and off" and many drives over the Tappan Zee, Pat finally decided to move home from NYC in the spring of 2017 and we FINALLY began dating. Within a little over a year, we moved in together and the rest is history!
