We were both invited to our friends' birthday party that evening at Punch Bowl Social. This was in no way a set up, and neither of us were actually looking to date. Casual conversation became fun, so when the party moved to The Loop, we had become more comfortable with talking to each other than dancing in the crowd. we sat and talked, watching everyone on the dance floor. Then exchanged numbers at the end of the night. Kaelyn was hesitant to start dating again, but the chase from Geoff really kept her on her heels. Her mother always told her "you'll find love when you stop looking for it" and that "always say yes to the man putting forth effort to chase you". It was love. It was kind, and compassionate and open. It was meant to be. We are so very thankful to have each other, and continue the rest of our lives chasing the next thing, together.
