Ally here- hi. So it went like this: Logan and I have been neighbors for who knows how long- way back when we'd chase the ice cream man, climb all the trees and ride our bikes through the neighborhood. After years of ding dong ditching, digging for worms, and considering Logan the cute boy that lives around the block, he reached out to me. This guy was very determined to meet me. After giving him a hard time for quite a while, I got the guts up to walk my sweet Heidi dog around the block coincidentally at the same time he had been sitting outside untangling some fishing line in the back of his truck. I'll never forget that moment. He was wearing that old polo tshirt and I had the same broken pair of old navy plastic black flip flops that would come apart when I walked. Totally smitten and only 16, we sat on the tail gait of that old 90s dodge pick up and talked and laughed until my parents had gotten worried where I was. It was near impossible to say goodbye and still is 9 years later. It's safe to say I grinned like an idiot the whole walk home.....but this time with a fixed pair of old navy flip flops thanks to the cute boy that lived around the block...& the rest is history. 1 Decade together- forever to come!
