We had met through some mutual friends, all of which being ballroom dancers at Utah Valley University. Our friends had decided to go to some market in Provo, so we all gathered at the crosswalk on West Center Street and South University Avenue. We watched fireworks as a group that night, and we were inseparable for the whole summer. After dressing up for the Barbie movie, going on two (pretty terrible) camping trips, paddle boarding, and TONS of friend group drama…we were left as the two middle men in the group. That time together brought us closer than ever, and the rest has been history!
