Do you know how hard it is to meet people out of high school? Well it's difficult, nobody ever wants the same thing at the same time and how do you pick someone up at the grocery store?

We had known each other for a couple years prior to officially getting together. A mutual friend mentioned to us about each other, then we added each other "strangers" on social media. We would message on Facebook some and send each other a few snapchats, but it never went further then that.

Brian would ask to "hang out" but it never seemed to be the right time. We talked off and on for a year or two, BUT one day in 2022, both our lives changed, we started talking again, as we normally did, but what was not normal is Brian finally asked "Can I take you on a date?"

Now Emily was fed up with guys and dating at this point, nothing ever stuck, but she was interested in Brian's offer. So, we ended up at Emily's house "hanging out" (just hanging out) and talking the whole night about each other's lives.

Funny how good things take time.

Then we were pretty much inseparable after that, moved quickly in our relationship, but timeline didn't matter to us because our company and relationship counted the most.

So on August 21, 2022, we were just hanging out at his house, and he asks "So, are we official yet".

That's what taking a leap at hanging out gets you!
