"Cute Guy from Convocation"

Jaruwat and I first met at our Freshman Convocation, where he put his name in my phone as “Cute Guy from Convocation.” He played the long game though, starting off strong by forgetting about me and reintroducing himself countless times freshman year, to becoming friends sophomore year, to more than friends junior year. We found ourselves spending more and more time together, between Campus Ministry events, volunteering with the Salesians of Don Bosco’s Youth Center, and finding time to chat and play Skip-Bo, a favorite card game of ours. All of this led to our first date on April 23rd, 2022, where he planned a photo scavenger hunt on our walk to the Yellow Rose Bakery. My prize for winning the scavenger hunt was a photo frame full of pressed yellow flowers, and he asked me to “go steady” with him. I said yes, and exactly 2 years later, I said (through tears) another yes to him to make it a permanent position!
