How we met

01/03/2020

People always ask how we met, the easiest answer we have is, "We met through mutual friends." Honestly, I feel like there were multiple times Carlos and I have crossed paths yet we never really became close friends or started hanging out until 2019. Carlos and I both went to Burnham Elementary 2008-2009 yet we never met (he was a year older than me in school). We also lived very close by and from 2016-2018 we lived 2 blocks away from each other, yet again, we didn't talk. Even with the same circle of friends we never really talked. The first time he actually made conversation with me was when I worked at Sears in 2015 and asked me for a discount on a jacket he wanted (I did not give him a discount). How dare I not give him that discount and how dare life keep us away for this long??? Finally, in 2019, he decided to "slide in my DM's." Calling my dog (now OUR baby) Coby "cute." Since then, we talked for countless hours on end and hung out and on January 3rd, 2020 he decided to ask me to be his girlfriend. The rest is history...
