How We Met

It all started at the Fairfield Edge back in 2021. I was just minding my own business (probably with my classic lifting RBF —sorry, Andrew!), when this brave soul decided to strike up a conversation. He came right up to me and said, “Hey, I think your teacher memes on Instagram are hilarious—and honestly, way too relatable.” That was the beginning of something special. We became friends fast, bonding over our shared experiences in the world of teaching and our love for working out. Almost every day, we’d find each other at the gym, swapping wild classroom stories and venting about the chaos of the day (okay, I did most of the venting—Andrew was basically a saint for listening). After about a year of friendship and me secretly wondering if he’d ever make a move, he finally asked me out! Timing had to be just right, but a few months later, we made it official—and we’ve been together ever since. From gym chats and teacher memes to this beautiful life we're building together, I wouldn’t change a thing.
