Swiping right that one day and hoping that she would reach out... We then complimented each other on our smiles (Carley reached out first). Next thing we knew, we would stay up all night on the phone with one another for an entire month. On April 1, 2019, Carley asked Kaylee on a date to The Shacks to meet her and Lola for the first time. Little did we know that instead of our date being the biggest joke of our lives, it ended up being the best decision of our lives. Carley arrived early with Lola, while Kaylee, in usual fashion, was late. Kaylee walked down the stairs to the dog park, her heart pounding, worried she had catfished Carley because she was wearing her glasses. Kaylee walked into the dog park, and Carley ran up to greet her at the doggie gate in her ripped jeans and green flannel. Carley was in awe of the white Camino, maroon Vans, and glasses (Kaylee found this out later). We both gave each other the biggest and most genuine hug we could give one another. We sat down on a bench surrounding a tree and talked for hours. It was like we had known each other in each past life we had lived. Kaylee finally met Lola, and the rest is history!
