So, you know how you swipe right and hope for the best? Well, December 6th, 2019, was *our* lucky day! Derrick and I matched on a dating app – total strangers! We chatted online for a bit, and then, because you gotta be careful these days (catfishing is real!), we FaceTimed. It was hilarious getting to match voices to the silly things we’d been saying! We talked non-stop after that – late nights filled with laughter and sharing all sorts of things. We became really, really good friends, even though we hadn't actually *met* yet. Crazy, right? Then, on Valentine's Day 2020, in the middle of a freezing Roanoke, Virginia, Derrick asked me on our first date... to Cheddar's! A memorable day we both will never forget! And that's where our incredible journey began!
