How Ryan and I Met

Ryan and I met when we were 15 years old. My sister lived in his neighborhood and I would babysit my niece, Candice, all the time and Candice had a friend, Cherish, who was Ryan's little sister. I was watching Candice and Cherish one evening and Ryan came to pick up Cherish. Ryan called me later that night and said he thought I looked 17 which for a 15 year old was very flattering! I was at the goofy-looking stage in my life with braces and not knowing how to do my hair, but Ryan thought I was cute anyway! We couldn't date until we were 16, so we just called each other a lot until we could. We dated here and there and I went to his Homecoming dance at Jordan and he went to my Husky Howl dance at Hillcrest. We were not exclusive, but we liked each other!
