We met about eight years ago playing volleyball. We always had a lot of mutual friends, and were pretty good friends ourselves, but the timing had never really lined up for us. Throughout the years, we both dated other people and remained good friends through it all. We frequently had conversations about our significant others or dating lives at the time, hoping that one day we'd both find the people we would spend our lives with. Little did we know what our future would hold... Then, in February 2021, we decided to move our friendship into a relationship. After only a couple of weeks in, we both knew this was something really special. That something special we always talked about wanting...just had no idea it was right in front of us the whole time.
