How We Met
We first met in middle school with a few classes we shared together. We started to actually become friends in 8th grade since we sat right by each other in algebra class. In high school, we finally decided to start dating towards the end of 9th grade. Once we broke up we kind of fell out of being good friends for a while. It wasn’t until 2015 after Greg tried to patch things up that I was finally ready to try and be friends again. We went on an awkward movie “date” and liked to take drives at night just talking. We just stayed friends until we were walking around my old apartment complex with Matthew, who was just barley 2, and I got butterflies all over again like I did in high school. I knew he was still the one. So in a rude way, while Greg was saying something I kissed him. He then asked if this meant I was ready to try dating again finally and I said yes. Now 9 years later we are engaged and will be getting married after our 10 year anniversary in 2025.
