We met working as servers at LongHorn Steakhouse back in December of 2021. We were both on break from college and had been working there for quite some time but had never met until then. We hung out for the first time on New Year’s Eve and before long, we found ourselves picking up more and more closing shifts together, partly for the extra hours, but mostly for the extra time we got to spend with each other. After work, we’d sit in the car, talking about everything-our days, our dreams, and all the little things in between. Those late nights are where our relationship really began to grow. We started officially dating and began long distance on and off in April of 2022. Over the past four years, we’ve grown together even through distance, spending three of those years mostly apart while finishing school. It wasn’t always easy, but it taught us patience, trust, and how to truly be there for each other no matter the miles between us. Through every challenge and change, we kept choosing each other. What started as a simple coworker connection slowly turned into something much deeper- a partnership built on receptiveness, resilience, and showing up for each other every single day. Looking back, it’s the small cherished moments that have meant the most. Laughing through the chaos, sharing our worries, and always being there for one another. Those moments are what have shaped our relationship into what it is today, and we’re so excited to keep building our future together.
