OUR LOVE STORY

Andie, a girl from Tennessee moved across that country to go after her dreams in California (which didn't entail falling in love). Soon after making the big move to San Diego, she got reacquainted with an old friend (aka Star) from Tennessee, who invited her to this church in LA. She made the two-hour trek up to LA to meet her friend at this unknown church better known as Evergreen. She parks two blocks down the road from the church (this was her first taste of LA parking) and makes her way into the dark small building in Culver City. She instantly got hit with the heavy presence of God. There was a peace that came over her and she knew this was where she needed to be. After the amazing service came to a close, she turned to see a very tall, curly-haired handsome man with a huge grin on his face standing before her. He greeted Star and then she introduced him to Andie as Chad (which she quickly forgot later as she confidently called him Tyler or Kyle or some other white guy name confidently). He introduced himself and instantly made a dad joke about her being from Tennessee (the first of many dad jokes to come) which made her giggle (heart eyes). They quickly became friends..then closer friends..then best friends. They started doing everything together, traveling, fishing, cooking, working out (flirting) but always denying that we saw each other as more than friends (cue their friends rolling their eyes). This went on for 2 years. Best friends but the tension of so much more was right below the surface. They always wanted to be with each other, they were each others go to, they could be on an adventure or just sitting and talking..they didn't care. They valued any time they had together. They watched each other date other people, break up with other people, go through the bad times and good...they were always there for each other. Then there was that day that everything changed. Rest of the story to come..
