It all started on our Dayton to Daytona trip senior year. We met on the second night which happened to be Kevin's 22nd birthday at midnight. It was one of my roommate's birthdays (Morgan) and we were all out celebrating at a bar called Crusin'. We were standing next to Kevin and his friends and I overheard that it was his birthday in a few minutes. I approached Kevin and said "let me buy you a shot, what do you want?" We both took a birthday shot together, his being Fireball and mine being Dragon Berry Bacardi (of course). That night we really hit it off. A few days later, he decided to put his number in my phone and said "hey text me when you get back to your room so that I know you got back safely with your friends" (so sweet). Turns out he accidentally put in the wrong number. Since I texted the wrong number, his friend (Eric) texted me for him. We did clear that up the next day. Each day during that weeklong trip, we met up at Crusin' and spent more and more time together. We had such an amazing week with friends and it came to the last night where we thought "when are we going to see each other next?" We both went back to our hometowns, his being Jackson Michigan and mine being Dublin Ohio but I was moving to Nashville three weeks later. We talked to each other every single day that summer and I loved every second of it! Kevin made his first trip down to Nashville to visit me in August of 2017, which happened to be the solar eclipse. We spent the entire weekend together and after that weekend we knew for sure we were meant for each other. We visited each other that fall several times but then Kevin started looking at jobs in Nashville. He ended up accepting a position in December of 2017 and moved to Nashville shortly after. We have lived in Nashville for almost 4 years and it's been amazing making memories together in our city.
