Emma accompanied her aunt and uncle to Crunch Gym in Murfreesboro, TN, where she was FINALLY introduced to TJ. Little did TJ know, her aunt and uncle had planned to introduce them for months. While on two separate vacations, Emma had gone to the gym to meet him and he never showed. Once there, they conversed about the gym and TJ’s races. Before leaving, Emma’s uncle got TJ’s instagram and gave it to her where she DMed him first. Emma knew from that day forward, he was the one. From there it was history. They spoke everyday until she was able to visit again in March of 2024.
