(As told from Amy's perspective because let's face it, Trey's not the novelist type)

In the middle of summer 2015, sometime towards the end of July, both Trey and I had resorted to using Tinder to try to find possible dating mates. My guess is by that point we had both had our share of weirdos and had finally adjusted to the uncertainty of going out with someone new. At the beginning of August, after chatting via text for a few weeks and find we actually had a lot in common, Trey and I decided to meet for beers in Willow Lawn at American Tap Room, just to see if our chemistry was as good in person as it was through a screen and keyboard.

After a little bit of stalking, I knew what he looked like. As I approached him waiting for me on the bar patio I was excited as he seemed to fit his personality just as much in person as he portrayed in writing. We immediately hit it off. What was meant to be a quick drink date just to test the waters turned into hours of laughter, more beers, and lots of talk about who we were and what our beliefs in life were. Needless to say, the date ended with a spark filled first kiss as he walked me to my car. It didn't take long for us to set up another date for the next night. Including his home cooked grilled chicken (it's actually really good). Again the night turned into another evening of wonderful conversation and story swapping.

Two dates led to four and before we realized it we were spending more time together than we were apart. There was such an awesome friendship and connection, I couldn't be happier.

Over the past year we have been blessed and cursed to experience more together in such a short time than many do over 5+ years. It has been an amazing process of learning and growing and sharing with each other. And at the end of the day, I can only believe that fate or God or something bigger had to be at work with Trey and I. Like two puzzle peices finding their spaces we can finally join for good as we continue to finish the puzzle of our lives together.
