Matthew & I met during our freshman year of college. I went into college telling myself I wouldnt fall for the first boy I met... I broke that promise. A high school friend (Adam) was suite mates with Matthew and invited me to hang out. When I got there, there was a three cushion couch and a love seat. Of course, the love seat was taken and Matthew was sitting on one end of the couch. Adam walked over and took the other end of the couch leaving the middle cushion. I awkwardly sat down while Adam and Matthew were on their phones texting each other. Matthew texting Is this Allie?, instead of anyone talking to me. Finally, the awkwardness faded and we both developed a little crush on each other. After weeks of making up excuses to hangout, we finally started dating! He supported me through nursing school and never left my side after many nights of hideous cry sessions. Five years later, the boy I met my first week of college asked me to marry him! He has always believed in me and my goals and I couldnt ask for a better best friend and partner.
