We met online before swiping left or right was even a thing. One summer - 12 years ago when top 8's and T-mobile sidekicks were all the rage we started messaging each other online all summer long. We had mutual friends and saw each other from time to time, it just took him long enough to say hello! This friendship quickly grew into late night chats over the phone and sneaking phone calls on the home phone for each lunar eclipse, meteor shower, half moon we could find in order to talk to each other longer. AJ asked Kendal to be his girlfriend not once, not twice but 3 times before she agreed (ask her best friend Sam about it). January 1, 2008 is when she finally agreed and hasn't looked back since!
