Her StoryWay back in the summer of 2009 is when our story begins. We briefly met while I was an Orientation Leader (basically, introducing the freshman to what life at BGSU was going to be like) and Brandon was recruiting incoming freshman to go through Formal Recruitment to rush a Fraternity. But other than a few brief interactions, nothing happened.
A few months later, we met again as we were both helping freshman go through recruitment to join greek life. We had seemed to know a lot of the same people, so we kept running into each other. Brandon was a true gentleman and offered to walk me home one night. On our way home, we were looking at the stars, and he pointed out the constellation known as Orion, but called it the Big Dipper. Of course, I corrected him, only for him to later tell me that was his excuse to text me the next day! Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling it at first. I made Brandon walk home in the rain several nights and also put him through the difficult test of talking to my best friends and roommates at 2am- but he passed with flying colors. I guess you could say I was playing hard to get, but after awhile, it became clear that I couldn't resist his charm. We made it "official" in November 2009. I was a year ahead of him at BG (yep, I robbed the cradle!) and therefore, we had to have a long distance relationship after I graduated while he finished his senior year- something, that neither one of us had wanted to do. But either way, we both made a strong effort to visit each other and keep the relationship going. And after Brandon graduated in May 2011, instead of going to LA like his original plan, I somehow got this amazing guy to move to Chicago. And the rest, as they say, is history. |
