We met for the first time at our Strength + Conditioning Trainer's Gym (for those of you who know him - Ryne Malone's gym). We were in high school, when Noah slid into Jordan's Facebook messages. After exchanging a few - embarrassing and cringey - messages, the two are now acquainted. These messages are now a sweet souvenir to look back on, and are always a good laugh.
Jordan notices Noah at Ryne's Gym.. and I mean notices! He is so grown up.. and so cute! She says something to Ryne, who inevitably tells Jordan that Noah might have a girlfriend already. Thoughts about Noah leave Jordan's mind.. until..
It's 6 months later, and guess who is single? Ding, ding! We have a winner, that pretty cute Noah guy. So what does Jordan do? She ever so elegantly slides into his Twitter messages. Okay, cut a girl some slack people, it was New Years Eve and she just needed some liquid courage.. her heart knew what it wanted! Noah then asked Jordan for her number.
The two kept in touch, although it was very platonic. They dated other people, fell out of touch, then found each other single again in 2016. Noah had a lighthearted and friendly way of pursuing Jordan, but his consistency and intentionality over 6 months had her thinking that maybe there was something to it. July of 2016, Noah invites Jordan out to visit him in Hermosa Beach, CA before she begins her senior year of college. She somehow finds herself on a plane to see him, after her Mom and her best friend Alyssa say, "why not?!". Well, good thing they did. After spending their first day hanging out together, Noah and Jordan tried to explain the way they felt to the other (without sounding crazy): "I could see myself spending the rest of my life with someone like you."
