How we met?

April 12,2020

We both were newly single and I was just looking for new friends. I made a dating profile on Facebook of all places and the messages started rolling in lol. I responded to a couple but there was one person in particular that stood out. Everyone wanted to text but Katie said “I don’t be on here like that call me”. We started talking on the phone for hours then she finally said she wanted to see my face. I was a little hesitant because I am missing two teeth and it’s pretty noticeable. I told her before I agreed to video chat about the missing teeth and she literally said “girl I don’t care”. Even on video chat we would just talk for hours. It took us a week to finally meet up. She got off work early and borrowed her friend’s car to come to Chicago and pick me up. I was playing it cool the whole day low-key excited but also nervous and scared as shit. I gave my mom all the information I had on her, even the friend’s car she picked me up in. We watch way too much lifetime to not be cautious. We hit it off right away and realized we have a lot in common. Our story is still being written but I sure can tell you the beginning of it was crazy.

For all the days along the way
