We met at Hilltop Elementary after Isaiah moved to Canfield in the third grade. Growing up we had several classes together and stayed friends since junior year of high school where we became even better of friends. We became a bit closer once we had study hall together. Anna asked her homeroom teacher if she could skip study hall to hangout in the computer lab and if she could bring a friend. Her teacher questioned who the friend was and Anna got a bit nervous so she name dropped Isaiah’s older sister’s name, Ellie, knowing she had Ellie in class at the time, the teacher then agreed. Anna knew the study hall teacher pretty well, gave her the paper excusing Anna and Isaiah from class, and Anna instantly pointed right at Isaiah to say you are coming with me. Isaiah blushed, packed up his things, and headed out the door. From there we played online pool, did homework together, and listened to music. Isaiah developed a secret crush on Anna, but never spilled the beans. We went our separate ways after high school until reconnecting Isaiah’s junior year of college when Anna randomly texted Isaiah. It just so happened to be Isaiah’s 21st birthday and Halloween weekend at Ohio University. With that being said, Anna received “Anna Luongo?” back and with some liquid courage a phone call. We talked on the phone for an hour reconnecting (note: we were both at different Halloween parties and walked out of both just to chat to one another). Since that phone call, Anna would go visit Isaiah at Ohio University and Isaiah would go visit Anna in Stow, Ohio. This then turned into a long distance relationship for a year while Isaiah finished college. After graduation, we lived together in Austintown, Stow, and back in our hometown of Canfield all within our six years of being together.
