Brandon and I first met in elementary school and somehow survived each other all the way through high school. After graduation, life took us in different directions, but apparently the universe wasn’t done yet. A few years later, we reconnected…and this time more than friends. Turns out all those years were just a really long dating prequel.

Our first date was at Outback Steakhouse, but not before Brandon picked me up from my parent’s house and my dog decided to pee on him as a welcome gift. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, i somehow managed to launch a piece of steak onto his foot during dinner. Most people would’ve taken those as warning signs, but Brandon stuck around. Thankfully, he saw past the dog pee and flying steak….the rest is history!
