Grant and I tell this story different ways, but the general consensus is that Grant has been dating me longer than I've been dating him - his own words, not mine. He began to pursue me quietly and patiently from the moment we met at a house warming party for two of our dear mutual friends, Lindsay and Lauren, and has never truly stopped. But, here is the general timeline: August, 2018: We met briefly August, 2019: We went on our first date August, 2020: We got engaged And all the in-between is filled with wonderful little details that made me love him more & more each day.
