Though many of you know parts of the story very few know the whole thing... John and I actually met on a darting app! We set up that first meeting, not really a date just getting to know each other, and we ended up talking for about 8 hours! In those 8 hours we talked about everything! Our interests, hobbies, religion, and even politics. The conversation just felt so natural like I was talking to someone who was meant to be in my life but that was confirmed for me when John told me his birthday. August 8, 1999. If you know me you may already know where i'm going but 8899 has been an important number in my life for a very long time. It was my school ID from kindergarten through high school! It was in my webkinz username, my first email address, and even my snapchat username. When John mentioned his birthday I made him go across the room and grab my phone from my coat pocket, it had been there since we started talking hours earlier. I'm sure he was so confused but once he got the phone I had him type his birthday into the lock screen and it unlocked. 8899 had been my phone password as long as I've had a phone. To me this is the moment that I knew we were going to be in each others lives for a long time wether or not we end up dating. After all those hours of talking John walks me across the street from his apartment building to mine and we part ways with a plan to meet up on the following Sunday for our first official date. We did end up hanging out every night leading up to that first date with John walking me home at a more reasonable hour. I think that I knew within that first month that I loved John but I don't remember how soon we said it. I know I said it first but over text and not in those three direct words and john replied "I love you too, KaCee." Milk and I ended up moving in with him about 4-6 months into the relationship because he needed a roommate and I wanted to save some money. Since then we have moved 4 times in 3 years and adopted 2 more pets but we are so happy to finally be settled in our own home together with our 4 fur babies.
