It’s finally happening!

Back in high school Jason and I both ran track. Although he went to a different school and was 2 grades ahead of me, we would see each other at track meets. Jason had quite the rivalry with a kid on my team, so of course eyes were always on the two of them in the hurdle event! We became Facebook friends and would socialize that way, but almost never in person. When Jason graduated, he still helped out with his former track team and would still be caught at track meets (picture and video evidence of him at all of my momentous races!). We would also both compete in the summer at the Bay State Games and my mom recalls how I would point him out to her saying “oh that’s Jason from Leicester!” But we still would never talk to each other. At some point after I graduated high school, we ended up going on a single date. He picked me up and took me to get frozen yogurt and spent some time driving around and talking with one another. Neither one of us remembers why we never let things go further than just one date! YIKES! About 3 years later, Jason messaged me on Twitter at 2AM and that was it! We texted and Facetimed each other constantly as I was at college in Maine. Everything about our conversations felt so natural and I was so looking forward to time together IN PERSON! I moved home for the summer and he stole my heart by taking me on a date with Bella! The cute dog always gets the girl! Things got serious quickly as he decided that for my senior year of college, he would move up to Maine with me, after just 4 months of dating. A few years ago we bought our first house together and moved in with our sweet cat, Lena. And after several years of myself and members of both our families repeatedly asking him when he was going to propose, on Christmas morning of 2020 he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!
