Back in 2018 we were both just living our ordinary lives, selling paper and printer ink to old people at Staples. When I think about it now we were both just strangers but somehow something drew us together. Maybe it was the dust in the air or the blaring red everywhere but before I knew it James went from my boss to my boyfriend AND my boss. I wasn’t sure what exactly I was getting into, but the feeling inside scared me because I’ve never felt that way before. Fast forward all these years later and we have grown into so much more. Not only are we completely different than when we first came together but our relationship has also evolved into something so beautiful and special. I’m so excited to marry this man and to waste my life away with him. There is no one else I would I want to smell dust and look at red with.

I just moved back to town not looking for anything but to leave again. Little did I know what would come walking through the door. I was bidding my time stocking shelves and selling printers. We got a new hire, which was common (not many want to work where dreams go to die). Little did I know this time would be different. We hung out more and more as time went on till it was just habitual. Then we couldn’t be separated from each other, nothing could stop me from saying office quotes and eating Taco Bell with her. Fast forward after leaving a bad job to another and almost dying, she was always by my side. There is no better partner, friend, cat mother, or print and marketing associate. If I had it my way I would’ve married her back in 2018, but here we are.
