We met for the first time in Belfast, Northern Ireland when I flew over to visit! It was at the airport and I had just gotten GRILLED by border security (always happens to me :lol: ) and I was so nervous! She was standing there waiting once I walked through the baggage claim. I probably looked so stupid after barely sleeping and having a unicorn pillow pet (her new friend haha) strapped to my back, but it was surreal actually getting to be there with her and know it wasn't a dream! :blush:
