We were in the same year at the same high school but didn't meet until Brian transferred into UCONN a few years later. We hit it off and became friends pretty quickly. From there we dated for a while but life happened and we drifted apart...

...After several years our paths crossed again and again, it was like no time had passed at all. We remained friends and eventually began dating again on July 1st of 2018. We moved in together in October of 2019...

...On July 1 of 2020, our 2 year anniversary, Brian gave me a plushie of my favorite Pokemon (Alolan Vulpix) over lunch as an anniversary gift (which I brought back to work to show off 😁). When I returned home from work for the day Brian had his home made mac and cheese on the table for dinner and cooked to perfection. After dinner, as we were clearing the table and making room for the leftovers. I stepped outside to put the garbage in the bin and when I came back in Brian was down on one knee asking me to marry him! I obviously said yes (once the shock and awe wore off enough for me to realize what was happening lol) and here we are.
