Amid the famous year of Covid, 2020 my friend had asked the group chat if any of us girls wanted to join her and her trainer for two free workout sessions. One thing about me, is I love to work out, and I love it when I can do it for free. She had mentioned they were early morning sessions (5:30 AM), followed by providing Ryan's Instagram and saying "he's single." I then proceeded to creep on him and quickly agreed to the two free sessions.

So I set my alarm on Tuesday night to wake up bright and early before our first workout session. Wednesday, September 23rd came around and I suddenly woke up realizing it was 5:45 AM (past the start of our first session). I checked my alarm and realized it was set for 5 PM and not 5 AM. I quickly got ready and rushed over to the gym. I ended up being about 30 minutes late to our hour-long session. I ran over to where I saw my friend and Ryan, and Ryan proceeded to tell me to warm up on the bike and we had a normal training session, while they both made fun of me for being late.

After the first session, I quickly realized how intelligent, and personable Ryan was. I already was making plans on how to get him to go out with me.

Our second session came and went, and I ended up texting him after and thanking him for the experience, but I did not want to proceed any further. I followed up with a text asking him if he would like to get drinks sometime instead.

A few days came and went, and we had our first date at El Burro Loco in the Central West End for a couple of Margaritas. We were both obviously nervous, but overall had a great time. As time went on, our connection only grew stronger.

Through the years together, we have both held full-time positions, while completing our masters, moving across the country, getting new jobs, getting engaged, and finally buying a house. We have accomplished so much as a team, and I cannot wait to celebrate our next big milestone together with everyone we love.
