It was a September afternoon in 2004 when we were introduced at the park. We were immediately smitten and began dating. It was our sophomore year of high school. Being long distance and so young our relationship wasn't short on the usual struggles in young love that were amplified by distance. We ended our run as high school sweethearts and parted ways just before graduation. During college there were a couple of instances where we thought we'd get back together and give things another shot, but timing wasn't allowing it. We began to feel it was really over. It was time to move on. That we did, but our friendship remained. As we continued to pursue our goals, we began to move forward. We met other people, we moved to other states and life was really moving on. As life does, it threw us some curveballs. Job changes, people exiting our lives, job locations, etc. Finally in summer of 2014, our paths crossed yet again when we found ourselves both living in Dallas, TX. It was then we knew.
