It continued, “Then…out of the blue @heatherraeyoung walked into my life. The first time I saw her smile she ‘did that thing to my tummy’ and I knew right away I needed to get to know her… so I asked her out!! She said yes.”

They got drinks together instead and FaceTimed on their way home afterward. It didn’t take long for them to take a big step together.

“We moved in together really quick after only a few weeks, and we know each other so well,” she said. “He’s my best friend. He’s an open book. He is who he is and so am I, so everything’s been amazing.”
