Eric and I were set up by a mutual friend, Sarah Smith. Sarah and I were close friends in high school, and Sarah and Eric worked together at Mule Creek prison. While on a ski trip to Tahoe, Sarah kept pushing me to go out with this guy she knew from work. She said he was tall, good looking, respectful, and most importantly he was a hunter. Our first date was at the house we now share. I made elk meatballs and Eric did the dishes, the rest is history.
