How we met (told by Shannon)

Justin woo'd me with his dancing skills.... just kidding.

Shortly after moving to Charlotte, I was looking for a roommate and my good work-friend, Blair, recommended that I reach out to her good friend from College (at Winthrop University), Justin, because she thought we would get along really well. I reached out through Facebook messages and it ended up not working out because he decided to move home to Greenville, SC for a job at the BMW plant. (I found out later that he never intended to live with me because he thought it was a recipe for disaster for us to be roommates! :-) ) June 21, 2014 was Blair and Kyle's wedding day, yay! I didn't think I would know many people there, so I reached out to Justin to see if he would be my friend and hang out with me at the wedding-- he agreed! As luck would have it, I rushed into the church and managed to sit directly behind him, even though we had never officially met before. We discovered during the reception that Blair was right, we DID get along really well! I think I may have convinced Justin to {reluctantly} dance for a song or two, so we chatted the night away instead. I was super disappointed when the reception ended and Justin had to make the drive back to Greenville, but we exchanged phone numbers and haven't stopped chatting since!

For all the days along the way
