The two of us met way back in 2012 in our freshman year of high school when we were put into a four year long class together. During our senior year, we started talking more, became pretty good friends and even had a few failed attempts of a first date…. for some reason, it would just always fall through. After we graduated, Trace moved across the state for college and we lost contact for the most part… until the following year when he was home for Christmas break. We got back into contact, and on New Years Eve of 2017 we went on a long overdue first date to Olive Garden (my favorite) followed by ZooLights and he ended the night by asking me to be his girlfriend. We had a long distance relationship for 6 months while he was at school and then I moved across the state to be with him. And we’ve been together ever since!
