Frank and Taylor met in 2005 in freshman AP English while they were both attending North Mesquite High School. Frank thought Taylor was really cute, and bubbly. Taylor also thought Frank was cute, and different. She described him as "edgy" because he was the first person her age that she knew with a tattoo lol. They were always friendly while they were going to the same school but in their Sophomore year, Frank left to go to another school. Frank and Taylor always kept up with each other on social media and while Frank was doing a tour in Iraq he reached out to Taylor to catch up. That fateful day was June 7, 2011. It didn't take long for them to really start to connect, and when Frank returned back to the states they began dating officially on September 10, 2011.
