Our story

September 26, 2021

Our story begins with a shy girl, who sits in the back of the classroom, and a class clown, who sits in the front, with his hand raised high. Senior year, English class. Where a ball is thrown across the room to pick on unwilling participants to answer questions like we’re in the third grade again (keep note— that's important for later). Fast forward a few weeks, and we find ourselves sitting in a quiet library, talking to one another for the very first time. Don't ask who spoke to whom first; it will forever be an argument. Next thing you know, the timid girl sitting in the back is saved by her knight in shining armor from being hit in the face by a flying football. See, I told you that part was important. After that, the rest was history, and now we are here, writing this story for you all. Anyways, enough blabbing... go put your name on that RSVP list and get ready to party!
