How we met

Junior year

Samuel and I have technically known each other since kindergarten though he swears he has no memory of this very important fact. Fast-forward to junior year of high school, when Marine Bio brought us back into each other’s lives. That’s where our “connection” began… or at least where I began dropping hints the size of sea turtles while he floated along completely oblivious. For eight months I suggested lunch, hangouts, anything short of skywriting my feelings and then, at long last, the lightbulb went off. He finally asked me to be his girlfriend, and just like that, the boy who didn’t remember me in kindergarten became the man I’ll remember forever.
