It's hard to say when the first time we actually met was. We have crossed paths several times throughout our lives and have known each other for many years. Although we attended the same high school, have several mutual friends, and have always lived 5 minutes away from each other, we always remained strangers... One day, Casey asked to take me out to dinner. I invited him to play pickle-ball with my PA school classmates instead. Less awkward, right? Several pickle-ball dates and two years later, here we are. It's crazy how someone I can't imagine my life without has been so close all this time. - Written by Ashley
