Do you want the long version or the short version? Short version - runDisney Long version - Our first introduction happened in April 2017 at a runDisney race weekend event (apparently neither one made too much of an impression on the other, except I remember thinking “that guy is hot” and basically avoiding him all night....yeah, I know). 😆 But, he did make an impression on Shaun (my brother) and they became fast friends. Jeff and I became Facebook friends when he "loved" a photo Shaun posted on Facebook from our trip to Ireland after we had scaled the walls of a crumbling castle. I figured, "if this guys likes my picture...maybe I should get to know him" ;) We finally started communicating via Facebook sometime around November after Jeff developed an overuse injury while training for Dopey, and of course I offered to help...purely out of the goodness of my heart, zero ulterior motives here. 😉 Over the next month or so I noticed we shared a lot of common interests, and the boy was FUNNY. Enter SnapChat, which I'm somewhat ashamed to say was probably the real start to this relationship as it stands now. Nothing like exchanging filtered photos with ridiculous captions to get to know someone. This brings us to WDW Marathon Weekend and our first date. Epcot, January 7th...best evening ever! ❤️ I'm not exaggerating when I say the first hug felt like "home" and everything about that night was easy and perfect. The next day we went to Magic Kingdom where he got me so flustered I ordered the wrong food...I know, right?! And that was just the start of our whirlwind courtship, which doesn't feel like a whirlwind at all....I feel like he's always been in my life, and I cannot imagine doing this life without him. What started out as a possible new friendship rapidly transformed into very real love. And here we are....best friends, loves of each other’s lives, a match established by God...and the very best is yet to come! I get to marry my best friend, Answered Prayer!
