It all started when my fellow coworkers and I finally convinced the "cute new cook" to join us at our favorite after-work hang-out spot. We didn't think too much into it, but as time went on we both realized that maybe it wasn't the tequila pineapples...there was something sparking between us. We shared the same love for good food, great wine, and "rom-coms", so we decided to break away from the group outings, and get to know each other better. On our first date, Ben took me on a 7-mile hike (in the snow)...and I'm not quite sure how I made it out alive. Needless to say, we got to know each other well in those 7 miles! After being spoiled with a number of delicious home-cooked meals...I knew he was the one (I highly suggest a man who can cook). We have since added a beautiful new addition to our now family of four, and are excited to spend our forevers together.
