In July 2021, our high school senior class began planning our 25th class reunion at Central City Park in Macon, GA. After spending the day with my mom, I decided to stop by and see some classmates I hadn’t seen in 25 years. As the event was winding down, a few classmates decided to continue the evening elsewhere. I wasn’t planning on going to “part two” — until Nate asked if I would. A friend of mine noticed how intentional he was in asking me to join, and encouraged me to go. And that’s where it all began. Long story short, before I left the second event, Nate walked me to my car and asked for my number — just to make sure I got back to Atlanta safely. I can honestly say, we’ve talked every single day since that night.
