Our story began at Salem State on freshman move-in day. We were both in the ground floor lounge trying to make friends and instantly clicked. After two days of knowing each other, it was like hanging out with your best friend since childhood. After one week of knowing each other, Erin told her girl friends that she called dibs on Joe, even though she thought there was no shot the feelings were mutual. After a few months of strong friendship, we began dating in April of 2017 (a week after we both told each other that we were in love).
