Max and I met through a mutual friend when we were both still in high school. I was 15, he was 17. We were actually friends on AIM for months before we met in person for the first time at our friend Devin’s house. We dated for a few months in high school, went our separate ways and reunited in 2006 after my high school graduation. We have been together since, for a total of 16 years! We have grown up together along with our feline children Ari, Puff and Beau who are 15 and 16 years old now.
