Jerod and Natalie met online January of 2017. They hit it off immediately and planned their first date to the Zoo. Fast forward to the day of, the days following and even too this very day you get two different stories of how exactly that date played out. Natalie left the date hopeful for a second date with an also terrifying "I don't know what just happened but something big happened" kind of feeling. Jerod on the other hand left knowing this was "the one" and he was dead set on that feeling. Fast forward a couple of months and that strange feeling Natalie on the first date had became just a little too strong so she ran for the hills not being a fan of change. After going their separate ways they still stayed in touch for about 3 years. In the summer of 2020 they both went through significant break ups and decided to lean on each other for support. This time around though roles were very much reversed. Natalie being the one to know this was her person and Jerod not so sure about the "runner" as he referred to her on numerous occasions. The two got to meet twice each time being a little different but almost the exact same. Funny how life has a way of playing out.
