We met while teaching at the same elementary school at the perfect time. What started off as casually catching each other in the hallway for small chats, turned into finding more excuses to be around each other more, and over time, we found ourselves talking more and more. One night, after our annual staff holiday party, most of our co-workers headed home to their families, but we ended up staying out together for a couple more drinks. We both knew that night that our connection was something special and have been inseparable ever since.
