We originally thought we met sometime in second grade when everyone but Kristin (or so it felt like) had Mrs. Petrick for their teacher, but we recently discovered a picture of us in the same preschool classroom! Later, we both attended Intermediate East, and then The Universe led us on different paths for a while but eventually brought both of us to Florida, and Facebook eventually reunited us as friends. Thanks to both of us still having family in our hometown, there was a sighting at a Toms River bakery. Ryan finally messaged Kristin on Facebook, which led to our first date at Prato in Winter Park.
Kristin lost a March Madness bet (she'd like to note that it came down to the final game!). The payoff: a weekend trip to Rosemary Beach, where she won a husband-to-be.
