We actually met in the most high-school way possible: gym class. I had never really talked to Austin before, but one day I suddenly found myself paying a little extra attention to that cute boy across the gym. I didn’t even know his Snapchat, so after some serious detective work (shoutout to Odday in the library), I finally got it and added him. He added me back that night, I said “hey,” he said “hey,” and truly… it was all uphill from there. We started talking nonstop on Snapchat, walking together in gym, meeting up during break, and somehow in the middle of all of that, we both admitted we wouldn’t mind dating. On January 29th, 2017, he officially asked, “So… do you wanna go out with me?” and I obviously said yes—after double-checking that he really meant it. And just like that, we became “us.” From gym class and Snapchat to forever. 💛
From the very beginning, Austin has always been my protector. Back in gym class, we had to play dodgeball, and there was this senior who threw those balls like he was trying to send someone to the ER. One day, he aimed one right at me—way too hard—and before I could even react, Austin stepped in. He threw one back even harder and got him out instantly, right in the stomach. My saving prince, right there in the middle of dodgeball. ❤️ And to think… it all started in gym class. 😆
