We met at work through this new hire orientation that they call "boot camp" that gets new Flight Controllers familiar with NASA and some of the basics surrounding the job. A few of us created a D&D group that started meeting weekly to play. During this time, the group got closer and we started hanging out more and more. There were three of us that were pokemon fans and we banded together to play the game next to each other (in silence besides Juli's awesome playlists). It was then that we (Brandt and Juli) really started to hang out more in a closer setting. Fast forward a couple months and the pandemic hit. We decided that we liked each other's company enough to meet once a week in person to avoid the monotony of pandemic life. We cooked, baked, and played many video games pretty much each Saturday. You may be thinking, this is it, they both realized their compatibility and they started dating! Well, you would be wrong. We continued hanging out as friends in this capacity for another year before we broke out of the friendzone. Since then, we have enjoyed lots more cooking, baking, and video games but also adventures, sharing a home, and supporting each other through daily life.
