Jd and I are a perfect example of “timing is everything.” We both went to Columbia Central High School, where Jd was one year my senior. We never interacted, spoke to one another, etc. In fact, he was friends with my first (ex) boyfriend! Ironically, in Eigth Grade when we went to Washington DC on a school fieldtrip, Brittnii and I ended up in the same group after she just moved back to MI from FL!!! Jd and I both ended up at Central Michigan University for college, where we both joined Greek Life. We started hanging out after I asked him to be the “big brother” to my sorority’s “little sis.” We started dating and fell head over heels for one another, but after 2.5 years of dating I broke things off. We were both immature and needed a lot of growing up to do, as well as needing space. Fast forward to 8 years later, we reconnected on Facebook and after about a month of consecutively texting we decided to go to the Arnold Sports Festival/Expo together in Columbus, OH as friends. We decided after that weekend that we didn’t want to be just friends and began dating again. After 2 years of giving us a second try, he proposed! 🥰❤️
