We’re Sayin I do, Again...

Our story begins in 2014 at St. Catharine College in Kentucky. Krzysztof was an incoming freshmen, playing for the school’s soccer team. I was a senior, finishing up my last semester of eligibility for volleyball. Although our paths crossed early on in August, it wasn’t until later in the semester when things truly blossomed for us. Krzysztof’s first memories of me are in the athletic training room, where I spent most of my time telling stories and cracking sarcastic jokes. My first memories of Krzysztof are of him entering the school cafeteria with his other English teammates, already annoyed at how much the other girls of the school had already started to gossip about them. The first time we even had a conversation, it was actually about another girl on my team who liked him at the time. After that, Krzysztof would always say “Hey Shauna” when he passed me in the halls, and I would always wait until he was at the fruit tray in the cafeteria and come up and close the lid on it. I guess that’s how our adventure began. We eventually became friends on Facebook and would occasionally chat through Messenger. I had a terrible phone at the time and just gave him my number, explaining it would be easier for me to text that way. We discovered that we shared a mutual interest in The Walking Dead at the time and agreed to start watching the upcoming episode together each week. Those weekly hangouts eventually became movie nights with friends, where we would sit within inches of each other, but to afraid to touch. Although we never really talked about how we were feeling about each other, everyone around us already knew. I always tell people that I was oblivious to the fact he liked me and that my friends had to convince me he wanted to be more than friends, but I think I was just scared to actually pursue anything. Then eventually, one night while at a friend’s party, we wound up alone outside under the stars, where we shared our first kiss. The rest is history....
