March, 2015 - The month we met when we were in high school. Grant was a freshman and Catie was a sophomore. We would see each other in the hallways and at sport events, and Grant eventually got enough courage to reach out and start "talking" and hanging out. It was as awkward as every young high school relationship. Catie almost didn't invite him to her 16th birthday that June, but last minute decided to invite him and his friends - who knows if we would be here today if she didn't!
