How we met

#WholeYattawLove

Ashlei was in her junior year of high school. During lunch one day, she stopped into Shaw's and spotted a man and got side tracked; instead of buying lunch she sat on the frontend, mesmerized by this bearded wonder. Every other day she stopped at Shaw's to buy lunch but always found herself waiting for her friends to go through the checkout line, while she waited on the bench, where she could see the man she so badly wanted to talk to, but didn't have the courage to. In the summer of 2008, Ashlei decided the only way she'd ever be able to talk to him was if she got a job at the same place as the man she was thinking about day in and day out. Fast forward to Ashlei's first day of work, where she finally was introduced to, Justin. On the first day, he asked if Ashlei if she had been previously trained. Thinking that if she lied and said no, Justin, himself, might take time to train her, which meant they'd have to spend time together. When Justin heard "no" he instructed Ashlei to follow him around the store so he could show her the ropes! From there on Ashlei was overly nice and tried to be funny, but instead came across awkward towards him. Justin just wasn't feeling it, or so she thought. On her 18th birthday everything changed. Justin started talking to her more, laughed at her elementary level jokes, they talked outside of work and when at work, they usually would work close together. They started hanging out in January 2009 and started dating April 11, 2009.
