We met freshman year at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES). We would see each other in passing but never said anything besides “hello”. Our first connection was via Facebook. Back then Facebook was just for college students, so it would link you with other students you went to school with. Realizing we were both from Philadelphia, is how the conversation was initiated. It was pretty evident that we were crushing on each other well before we started messaging back and forth. After several days and several missed Facebook messages, we finally decided to speak on the phone. We talked all night, and agreed to meet up the next day. We walked around campus talking for hours. In fact, for the first few months of our relationship, that’s what we did…walk and talk. The chemistry was undeniably there, and it still is, so here we are today! *Fun Fact: We started dating on 9/29/2005! The date 9/29 has always been special to us and now even more so!
