It was yet another marching band practice in October of 2015 where everything started. Kyra was a junior, playing clarinet, and Randy was a sophomore, on bass drum 3. They started texting back and forth almost every day, and then they both worked up the courage to actually "hang out" in person. From there the rest is history, and by January 29, 2016 they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
After almost two years of dating, Kyra was on her way to Pittsburgh for college leaving Randy to finish his senior year of high school on Long Island. Soon after, Randy decided to commit to Syracuse, and the college rivalry began! Panthers vs Orange. This began the frequent road trips on I-79 and I-90, to visit each other during the school year. Finally after several years of long distance, Kyra FINALLY graduated and the distance was over.
