So Colleen actually knew Jeremy's whole family growing up, but he was never around so she didn't even know he existed! She was his older sister Cynthia's best friend in 4th grade, even went to her birthday parties and he was never around. Colleen moved away in 5th grade, but her aunt lived in the same town. Colleen's younger sister used to come visit her aunt during the summers, and would often attend Boy Scout events with my aunt and her sons who were boy scouts. Summer of 2011, Katie happened to meet Jeremy at one of these events, as he was also a boy scout. They started texting a bit when she mentioned her older sister, Colleen. So Jeremy and Colleen started texting and talking on the phone, eventually meeting and going to Colleen's junior year Homecoming dance, and the rest is history! 7.5 years later here we are!
