We met way back in elementary school, but we developed our friendship in High school. Let’s just say Christian wanted to be more than friends, but I thought he was a good buddy. Oof, sorry Christian. He kept up the chase throughout high school, and I kept dodging his dating requests. I started to like him during my senior year. Christian likes to point out that this is when he really got into working out. I try not to acknowledge that coincidence. Anyway, the timing just wasn’t right since I was heading to college and Christian was going to New York for a program called LIFT. It’s basically a glorified Bible camp for adults. Well, as a semester passed by, I realized that despite being emerged into a big, new dating pool at Purdue, I was still thinking about that boy from high school. When we finally got to see each other that Christmas break we had our own movie moment where I ran into his arms! It was pretty clear at that moment that I was where I wanted to be. It just took a little while, right Christian? The rest is history!
