Our Story

From Annie's Perspective

Our story began when Josh was selected to run my working interview. I walked out thinking I did well, and Josh walked right into the bosses office saying to not hire me. He said I did a good job with the kids, but I was too young and inexperienced in the field. Well thankfully, they did not listen to him and I started on the following Monday. Then, Josh proceeded to ignore me for 6 months until one day he decided (with the help of Jordan Tibbits and Melanie Lyons) that maybe I was okay to talk to. Then our little friend group began, and so did our friendship. We found ourselves at Barrio alone one night (everyone else bailed) and we realized maybe we do enjoy each other's company outside of a group setting. It did not take long for our relationship to grow and deepen. We knew fairly quickly that this was something real and special. I am forever grateful we met.

Our Story

From Josh's Perspective

I was approached one day at work and was told I would be conducting a working interview. It happened to be Annie, which she did well working with the kids at the center. I told my bosses that she did well but not to hire her because she was inexperienced. Good thing they did not listen. She was put into the same classroom I was in. Fast forward a few months she had started hanging out in the work friend group more and more. Then one night the group was suppose to get dinner, and everyone else could not make it except us. So I changed the location to Barrio, because we had talked about it earlier that week, and we went ourselves. We had a great time, and now over 2 years later here we are!
