Alexandria and Matthew's Story

It was twelve years ago when I first met him. I was only a freshman. 


We first connected through our shared love for the furry feline (in case you don’t know, it’s cats). But even before we connected, he immediately noticed (sniffed) that I was using Herbal Essence shampoo when I came into the room. I thought he was odd. After all, he admitted with no shame that he used the same shampoo. 


Then he observed that I love cats because I was wearing pajama pants with cats on them. Upon further examination he noticed that I was also wearing a picture of a cat on my sweater. He said he loved cats too. The first thought in my head was that he was trying too hard to impress me.


We sat next to each other as he proved his feline-fan claim by showing the pictures on his laptop of him with his cats. After finding out he wasn’t lying, we hit it off. 


This was all before we introduced our names to each other.


That’s the story of how we first met…


and then the rest is history….
