While we have known each other since high school, we lost contact after graduation. He went on to join the Army, and I went off to college at Iowa State. That is, until Bryan got back from AIT and we reconnected. What began as two old friends catching up and going to see Thanksgiving in theatres, slowly turned into a relationship we still find ourselves questioning about how we got here. The more we talked in the following months, the more we realized that we were no longer the people we had known in high school. We had become the person that we ourselves and the other had needed. After a wild, sweet New Year's Eve spent at Time Out in Ames, the rest of our story is history.
