Tommy and I (because we all know I'm writing this) officially went on our first date October 2, 2021. After multiple attempts of trying to get me to go out on a date, the details are as follows.

It was the summer of 2021 and I was scrolling aimlessly on Instagram when I had seen a group of middle school friends that I hadn't been in touch with in so long post some pictures on a boat. It immediately caught my attention when I saw familiar faces and the guy in the back (aka Tommy). I thought to myself, wow did he have a glow up (a significant transformation, typically in physical appearance, that is perceived as an improvement). It was an instant like and a click straight to Tommy's Instagram page, only to realize I had the "follow back" option. I startled giggling realizing that Tommy had been following me on Instagram for all these years and I never followed him back. Well that day was his lucky day because I hit follow back and within 30 minutes he accepted my request. I guess it was my lucky day too. Tommy was at the firehouse this day and he said to the guys, "this girl just asked to follow me, I'm going to post a picture and if she likes it today, I will message her directly." Well as you can imagine I liked the picture instantly, and had a message in my inbox. Again, it took a few attempts for us to go out on our first date. We started talking here and there for a few weeks until I finally told my bestfriends Kyla and Emily about him. They both instantly looked at me and told me I needed to give him a chance. Tommy picked me up the following week for our first date, and we've been inseparable ever since.

Tommy and I are so fortunate to share this life together. We have become bestfriends along the way, and have combined our families into one. Our personalities, values, morals and interests are why we stand here today. The amount of love and respect we have for one another is undeniable. We thank each and everyone of you for loving us along the way!
