I don’t remember meeting Waylon, and no it’s not because I’ve known him forever… it’s because well there’s 2 of them so who knows which it was! Though what I have found funny is how closely our lives have aligned through the years. Starting with him and my dad sharing a morning worship table at Wallkill when my dad commuted back in 2016. Or how I’ve known his family since they came to my hall in 2018. Even spending countless hours with his brother and hearing stories about “ the twins “. The first time I remember actually meeting them was when we ran into them at the mall. I don’t think we really spoke, and I don’t think either of us really knew or cared who the other was. Around a year later I remember going to the Barmettler’s house for a BBQ and the twins were there ( keep in mind… still no idea who was who ). I remember thinking they weren’t very friendly and joking with my sister since there was this one girl they were hanging out with. It wasn’t until late 2022 early 2023 that we started to become friends. We realized we all had a ton in common and had no idea why we hadn’t hung out before. We became fast friends, skiing, rock climbing and off roading together. Eventually a few of my friends pointed out that he liked to stare a lot… and that smile he’d get had something more behind it. I enjoyed denial for a while. But eventually realizing I really like this guy. After a few months of talking he FINALLY asked me out in May of 2023. And yes the rumors are true… his opening line was in fact “ I’m a guy and you’re a girl “. I know… smooth 😂 Anyway now I get to marry my best friend and spend forever with you. And I’m so thankful to Jehovah that you came outta nowhere and changed my world. Love you Way
