We met in 2013 while we were in high school by being on the golf team together, there wasn’t much communication, but we noticed each other and stole glances when we could. A couple of months later we were reacquainted….. and both seeing different people. Yikes! Running in the same friend group, we saw each other all of the time and the friendship was simply that, a friendship. A couple of years of just being friends had passed and then we went a few years without speaking or seeing each other. In 2018 Tommy reached out and the friendship picked up again while we were living 16 hours away from one another. The friendship quickly turned into 4 hour FaceTime calls and non stop texting while I was at school in Brenham, Texas and he was still in The Army at Fort Campbell in Tennessee. After months of nonstop talking and annoying our friends, Tommy finally came home to visit and on December 28th, 2018 we finally made it official. When I got out of school, I decided to move up to Tennessee to be closer to him and to focus on our relationship, because we both knew it was more serious than we anticipated it being. After moving back home to Texas when Tommy got out of The Army, we have only grown stronger and have found a comfort in being with one another. Our parents were right… Always marry your best friend.
