Mine and Reece’s story starts at a small custard shop in Starkville, Ms called Bops Frozen Custard. I was just about to start my first semester at MSU and was looking for a new job. My good friend and roommate at the time worked at Bops and managed to convince me to apply there. Funnily enough, the day that I applied Reece was at the store. My friend had told me about some of the people that she worked with but she had never mentioned Reece to me. I ended up getting the job and as with any new job, I didn’t have a clue what i was doing when i first started. Reece immediately became my favorite person to work with because no matter what I needed, he always offered to help. Over the next few months, Reece became one of my good friends but I honestly never thought we would date, Reece was a friend to me and nothing more. Well my dear friend that worked with me and was friends with both of us was convinced that me and Reece should date. Despite us both saying multiple times that it wasn’t going to happen, she did not give up lol. Finally, after much deliberation, we decided it wouldn’t kill us to go on a date. Reece picked me up to go the movies (my favorite place in the world). I opened up the door to find him all dressed up and then there was me, slightly sick and wearing a sweater and some leggings. My brain was still in friend mode and had trouble accepting the fact that it was indeed a real date and not just us hanging out as friends. Besides the outfit misshap, our first date was great and I knew I really liked him when I casually mentioned I wanted chocolate milk and something sweet and he drove to Krispy Kreme in Columbus just to get me chocolate milk and donuts. After our first date, I think we both knew we really liked each other and wanted to see if our friendship could turn into a real relationship. Well two years down and a dog and diamond ring later I think its safe to say we’re in it for the long haul.
