We both taught at The Malvern School. We ended up following each other on instagram and I saw Don posted a story of these big cookies from "My Cookie Dealer." I of course commented on it and said something stupid about how they looked so good, hoping he'd answer me back. He told me he'd bring me one to try and I was so excited that I could actually get to talk to him. We start talking a little bit through instagram about the gym and just getting to know each other. Halloween rolls around and the school is doing a group costume and we were all dressing up as crayons. Since Don was the only guy, he decided to be the crayon box and of course I asked if we could get a picture together because I thought it would be "funny" even though I wanted to say cute! So, we got our picture and thankfully airdrop wasn't working and I gave him my number. We started texting everyday after work and I felt like a little kid in a candy shop. We decided to pick a night and go to the gym together. I went to his one gym in KOP and we hit legs. I felt like Bambi but had to keep my cool so he wouldn't think I couldn't keep up. Before we said our goodbyes, we shared our first kiss and everything felt slow motion. We started hanging out more and going to the gym more. He introduced me to his friends and I slowly became part of the group. We met each others families around Thanksgiving and next thing you know we dating for 3 months and finally said " I love you." The sleepovers started happening and then in March 2023 we decided to move in together. Celebrating out first holidays in our place was such a great feeling. We became fur parents to Pancake in May 2023. Doing our first bodybuilding show together was such a crazy experience. I will never forget the night after our show. September 30, I thought everything was normal and we were all going out to celebrate the show. Little did I know Don sent us girls out just so he could decorate our hotel room in candles and rose petals. Music started to play as I walked in the door and instantly began sobbing in shock. We ended the night engaged and are slowly soaking in the engaged life. We have enjoyed every minute of wedding planning. We became fur parents again to Syrup in February 2024. We are now a happy family of 4... for now.
