Depending on who you ask, there are 3 different versions of Our Story- the long version, the short version, and the completely made up version. To set the record straight once and for all, no we did not meet while reaching for the same bag of carrots at Trader Joe’s (sorry Tay). The truth and short version is We fElL iN LoVe oN tHe IntErNeT <3!!!

The long version is this- in this day in age it is not uncommon for two young, single, attractive people to be on dating apps. With that being said, Michael and I first connected on Tinder with a simple swipe right. To me, Mike looked like a cute boy with good taste in music that I could potentially take to Pop Punk Night. To Mike, I was a 5’7 (not true) classy broadwith no bikini pics on her profile! But it wasn’t until weeks later on February 14th sparks began to fly.

For those of you who know me, Valentines Day is my favorite holiday. For those of you who really know me, I have a great sense of humor. So there I was enjoying my favorite day when I thought to myself- why not send a Valentines Day E-Card to Mike? I never gave him my phone number and got a good laugh out of the idea of an anonymous Valentine. Little did I know, Apple had recently updated its features so Mike knew exactly who he was talking to. The conversation flowed naturally and we immediately hit it off. So, I cut right to the chase and asked him to meet for happy hour. While most guys would be intimated by a first date on Valentines Day, Mike showed up tall, dark, handsome, and most importantly, with chocolates. Things went so well, that I invited Mike to join my solo date later that evening. We shared cheesecake, some wine, and then danced the night away at Belvedere's Ultra Dive. So there you have it, 2 dates on that first Valentine’s Day. The second which ended with me getting out of the car announcing “I’m a size 7 ring by the way” (not even close). One week later I told him he was my boyfriend, and the rest was history.
