We met our first year of college at University of Cincinnati in 2006... long talks in the booth at Uncle Woodys, a couple ATO parties, and a few football games later we had a bond we never saw coming!! Through the years following college, our lives ironically always overlapped in some ways. Both working at Kenwood mall at the same time- Robby at Verizon and Andrea at Restoration Hardware. When Andrea was taking classes in Fields Ertel, Robby was training for work in the same building. We both lived in Mt Lookout at the same time just about a minute apart when he was a DJ at MLTs where we frequented. Then when Robby moved to the east coast of Florida in 2012 - Andrea moved back home to Cleveland the same year. We remained friends but went our separate ways for awhile, keeping in touch here and there, mostly via social media… until 2020 happened!
It all started with a few instagram messages and some phone calls when we both realized this may be more than the friendship we remembered, so when we decided to taco ‘bout it, he came to visit and we had our first date at Barrio Tacos! One plane ride later he flew right into my heart… Florida quickly became a frequent visit as things just fell into place. Next thing you know on a cold December day he was down on one knee wanting to be engaged to me!
