The year was 2014. We met in an unconventional way at a time when neither of us were looking for love. We can agree on that, but we both have different ideas of what our first date was. Jared says our first date was when he met me at the movie theater one morning. It was our first time meeting in person, we watched the movie together, discussed the movie, and then parted ways with a hug. I say our first date was at the Griffith billiard hall. We planned for it to be a date and I even got dressed up. We chatted, laughed, flirted, played pool, and we had our first kiss. We both have our reasons for why we think either date was the first date, but we both agree that we knew early on that this would be more than just another person we dated. A month after dating Jared asked me to be his companion. Five years later, we bought a house together and created a home for our dog Harley, two cats Cotton and Twinkle Toes, and snapping turtle Bob. Now, we're about to take the next step into the rest of our lives together... agreeing to forever disagree.
