The first time we met was at a Catamounts for Christ event. We quickly became friends through our shared love of anime and sports, though we definitely don’t agree on which sports teams. When we first started talking, I gave Jason a hard time (in good fun, of course) for being a Toronto Maple Leafs fan and he would give me a hard time for being an Astros fan. As time went on, the flirting became more obvious, the “accidental” campus run-ins became more frequent, and with a little encouragement from our friends, we (let’s be honest, it was mostly me) finally made a move. We were planning to go on our first date after CYC 2020 but Jason got sick. No worries we'll just wait until after spring break, that'll be ok, right?? (March 2020: cue the global pandemic). But even a global pandemic couldn’t keep us apart. God was clearly working behind the scenes; we spent time Facetiming through the pandemic where we talked for hours, laughed through the chaos, and built something real even from a distance. Then, on September 12, 2020, we finally went on our first official date, and the rest is history!
