Taylor and I met each other while we were in college at Southwest Baptist University. It was my freshman year and his sophomore year. When we met, we realized how much we truly had in common with each other. We were both from the Kansas City area, had several mutual friends, grew up in church, and shared an incredible sense of humor ;) We were in the same friend group and started becoming super close! Without intentions of dating Taylor, he had come over to my house at Christmas time 2015 and my family loved him. Its actually funny because at the time, I was dating someone else so I was trying to set Taylor up with one of my best friends LOL! After Christmas break, we returned back to BOMO with pretty opposite schedules. We did not see each other near as much but made it a point to still keep in touch. Come April time, I began getting really close to the girl across the hall from me, Phoebe Finley. Her brother Timothy was actually roommates with Taylor at the time. As Phoebe and I got closer, Taylor and I began spending a lot more time together.. and so the crushing began. We were super lucky that as summer was approaching, we were both going back home to Kansas City, MO. Taylor and I started going on dates together in May and then dated each other all summer long. Without specifically saying this to each other, we both knew that this was going to be something really special. On June 11, 2016, Taylor and I had our first kiss. My family was getting ready to wake up the next day to road trip to Florida for over 2 weeks. As you can imagine, I was thinking A LOT about this on our 26 hour drive :) A funny part about that night was that right after he kissed me goodbye, I ran back into the house excitedly to hurry and tell my best friend Madi Miller (who was going on the trip with us) that this had happened.. but she was ASLEEP haha. Taylor and I o-FISH-ally started dating Sept. 7, 2016 and life has been sweeter and sweeter each day. This is our greatest dream come true:)
