Lacey’s story Andrew and I met in 2006 when I was a freshman and he was a sophomore in our high school yearbook class. I instantly knew that we were going to be friends when he sat down beside me. We dated on and off all through high school, but after, we went our separate ways. It wasn’t until January of 2016 when we would reconnect, on Tinder of all places. I was getting ready to take a travel nursing assignment in Colorado and had no idea where this would lead, but I swiped right and messaged him. We exchanged numbers and started talking. I came home for a few days and we decided to meet up where we had one of our first dates in high school. We chatted for what seemed like hours. After all these years, it felt like no time had passed at all, and I knew that I still loved this man sitting across from me.
