How we met- the back story

April 2017

Have you heard the phrase mom knows best? So, Sandy and I have worked at the Saint Cloud Hospital together since 2010. It's easy to say she knows me well, the good, the bad, and the 3 am me. In April of 2017, we were scheduled a shift together which started off as any normal shift. After a bit, I made a comment about my frustration to find a NORMAL, sane guy, who also had his head on straight. Sandy looked at me and cocked her head to the side. She then started asking me questions about what qualities I look for in a person I want to date and my hobbies and interests. After a while, she said that her son was single and met everything I was looking for in a person. The rest of our twelve-hour shift was spent with me asking every question I could think of. At the end of that 12-hour shift, I told Sandy ok, you can mention this to Jeremy, if he’s even interested give him my number. A couple of weeks later Sandy approached me at work and said yep he took your number. Later she gave me his number. The rest is history.
