We met over a decade ago in Orlando, Florida! We both did broadcast journalism/video production in high school, and we met at the Student Television Network (STN) convention (more specifically, in the hotel's hot tub). We exchanged contact information, and we met up at the 2012 convention in Dallas, Texas, where we shared our first kiss. After that, we were texting and skyping non-stop (back in those pre-Zoom days) for a few months, and eventually decided to date long distance. It was honestly kind of effortless. We dated for about a year at that time, but we remained friends throughout college. Eventually, sometime in Spring 2018 we started dating again, and it was just like no time had passed. We've been together ever since.
