We met through a mutual friend who was not trying to set us up. Brody was there to give them a guitar lesson and I was invited over to be their excuse to get out of that guitar lesson. Brody thought I was a (cute) snob and I thought he was a (cute) bum so naturally it worked out! We briefly dated before I moved to Alaska for two years, keeping in touch as friends. When I moved back we developed a strong friendship which turned into a stronger loving relationship.
