I think everyone knows we have been friends for years. We had a few attempts at 'official' dates in the summer of 2013 right after the Fourth of July, but Matt lost his phone 300 times that summer. We both went back to college in the fall and it never happened; we were always friends. The earliest photo pre-dating we could find was a fire at Saquish in 2015. Nicole, Tyler, Matt and I hung out for most of that summer. From camping to boating to concerts to family parties, we did it all. Even though we were always hanging out, never just the two of us. Finally, in 2017, after I moved home from college we went on an official date. Even though work took me all over the country for the first 6 months of us 'dating', we have been together ever since.
