It all started in the DM's! In April of 2014, I came across Broderick's page on Facebook. I thought he was very handsome and noticed he was asking for help to tie a bowtie. I messaged him saying "I can help you tie your bowtie if you still need help" (I had no clue how to tie a bowtie, but YouTube was going to help me lol). Unfortunately, he was able to figure it out himself. We sent a few messages back and forth, but eventually stopped conversing. Fast forward to December of 2014, a mutual friend of ours was starting up a fitness gym in Indiana. I came by to check on the progress of the gym and as I was walking out, the "bowtie guy" was walking in. I immediately said his name, "Broderick". He looked at me for a minute and asked if he knew me. I shrugged my shoulders and walked out the door. When I returned, he somehow remembered my name. A few days later, I returned to the gym and ran into Broderick again. That night we sat on the gym floor and talked for hours and finally exchanged numbers. Our first date was on New Year's Eve 2014 at Zaxby's. We were having such a great time talking, one of the servers had to come tell us they were trying to close lol. The rest is history in the making!
