Brandon was on his trip back up to Norwich University, for the start of the school year. When he stopped overnight at his friend Danny's home in Watertown. Danny made plans for that night to hang out with Garo, Matt, and Grace. Little did Grace know Brandon was going to be joining them. We all went into the South End for pizza and back to Watertown for ice cream. FAST FORWARD Grace reached out to Danny to ask him if she could attend the Norwich Ball with him. (Grace had gone to the Norwich ball with Danny back in 2016.) Danny told Grace that he might already have a date. Grace responded with, "that's fine I will just go with Hommer." Danny did not believe I was serious and made me call him on his phone. Danny hit call and handed me the phone. " Hello this is Grace, I was curious if you had a date for the Norwich Ball? Would you be interested in taking me?" Hommer responded with a few awkward laughs and said "yeah sure". FAST FORWARD Grace is so happy she is going to go to this ball however, realizes she knows nothing about this person. She gets his snapchat from Danny and processed to message and snapchat him for the next few months. Grace and Brandon messaged every night staying up to chat with each other, and trying to get to know each other. FAST FORWARD The night of the ball this was such a fun night filled with dancing laughing and lots of jokes. Brandon ended up inviting Grace to the Navy Ball at Norwich that was planned for the next month.

This happened at Magnolia Gardens in SC.
