Brian and I met in 2009 when I was a sophomore at Stoughton High School and Brian was a Senior at Canton high school. We had a mutual friend who introduced us and the first day time we hung out, we played basketball with Gaffey. We hung out once in a while for the next couple years and then didn’t really talk anymore once I went away to college. Fast forward to summer 2012 with the friend who introduced us, Katelyn. And Brian’s best friend Joe. The four of us would always hang out on the deck of Joe’s house and those nights soon were known as “JoeFresh Deck Nights” and we were play beer pong where Brian and I were committed beer pong partners and reigning champions. And Brian will also specifically point out that I “kissed him on the cheek” after we won one night. Those nights also consisted of heart to heart conversations between us four and also going on the roof and looking at the stars and using an app to find constellations in the sky. Once the summer was over, I went back to NC for school and we all again hung out when I was home for break. In 2014, Brian and I had hung out a couple times that summer with my friend Inna and my cousin Casey, mostly at bar Louie and Toby Keith’s. Still, no romantic feelings at this time. Just friends. And this summer is the last time I saw Brian for quite sometime... In early 2017, on a magical day, Inna and I ran into target to pick something up real quick and who come strolling down the aisle?? Still a target employee?? Brian Trayers!! A week later, I texted him, still had his number. And a few nights after that, our first date was at Stoneforge Grill in Easton where Brian told me he was a “wine connoisseur” 🙄 followed by a couple drinks at union villa right down the street. The whole night was just like catching up with an old friend! It’s like nothing had changed except now, we were crushing on each other a little bit 😏 And the rest is history.....
