It's Finally Happening!!!

We first met in high school when Stephen asked Natalie if her parents also drove a Prius. The sparks flew and lead to the first attempted date, which was stymied when Stephen wasn't allowed to use the family's basement because James and Ian had friends over. The only real date (circa 2006, wiftyknee88 asked cherripuddin13 out via AIM) began at a pizza shop and ended with Natalie being two hours late to her first day of work scooping ice cream and Stephen heading off on a Boy Scout backpacking trip that rather suspiciously lasted all summer. The last thing he said was, "I'll IM you when I get back," before he peeled out of the driveway. It turns out we were both so mortified that we lost track of time on the date that we never quite managed to have a normal conversation for the rest of high school. Fast forward to February 2013, and we both wound up at a post-Valentine's Day community college drag show (thanks, Josh!) and completely hit it off. We've been inseparable ever since.
