How We Met

New Year's Eve 2015

Shawn and I attended the same high school, but with being 4 years apart we didn't know each other in high school. We only knew of one another. But thanks to social media and Shawn nonchalantly hitting on me on Instagram, I messaged him on Facebook with the lovely words; "Hey, where did you live when you lived in IA?" (shhh, told tell him but I already knew). We immediately hit it off. Texting, calling, facetiming each other every day. A couple of days before New Year's Eve, he mentions that he is going to Beech Mountain in NC with a couple of friends to go skiing for NYE. He mentions how cool it would be if I could go. Well after talking to my best friend Kenna, I decided I needed some fun in my life and decided to go! After a long 14 hour car ride, Shawn Russell was waiting for me outside the cabin. That night we went up to the lodge where they were having a NYE party. Shawn and I had a blast dancing, getting to know one another, and hanging out with his friends that night. At midnight, we kissed and the rest is history after that!
