Once Upon a Time...          In the awkward land of teenage limbo known as High School, a boy would meet a girl and it would be more than just puppy love.   Our story begins in the stark cinderblock halls of West Chester East High when we were just 17 years old,  we've been inseperable ever since.                     The first time we met, it was at a football game in September 2005, the beginning of our senior year.  Who knows if our team won or lost, we were of course pre-occupied with flirting with each other, nervously making eye contact across the bleachers,  in typical teenage fashion.  We ended up hanging out later that night, and going back to John's parents' house to watch bizarre vintage movies- namely A Clockwork Orange and Forbidden Planet- still favorites to this day.  We instantly became best friends and would hang out after school every day.  Eventually a month or two later John worked up the courage to ask Clare to "be his girl", and we've been "going steady" ever since.        Growing up together has been an incredible whirlwind adventure, from our high school prom and graduation, to moving away together to college, to starting our careers and moving to New York.  Over the past six incredible years togther, our love, and most importantly our friendship, has withstood all.  It's a wonderful thing to be in love with your best friend.
