Brandon and I pretty much met inside of an Uber on the way to our friends apartment in St. Louis Park, coming from the bars in uptown. Which is funny, because Brandon despises uptown “because a beer costs $8” and because of the “long lines”. Brandon and I both stayed at our friend Emilie’s. Brandon was supporting his buddy Jacob, as he thought Emilie was cute. I just needed a comfy place to stay after a night out. Nothing actually came of this night. I left not even knowing his name, or anything. It was the next weekend where the magic happened. It was Emilie’s birthday and she wanted to invite Jacob. Brandon being the great friend he is, tagged along for moral support. This is slightly embarrassing but it all started at The Exchange in downtown Minneapolis. Yup, da club. I saw Brandon and had to look twice. Because dang, he was pretty cute. Not to mention I did bring a different date to Emilie’s birthday, who ended up going home alone. Oops. Well one thing led to the next and I suggested to Brandon we take a shot. Brandon and I got to talking and I found out he was one of my college friends best friends from high school! It was then, I could trust this guy was normal. We then went on a double date with Emilie and Jacob the next weekend, and it took off from there!
