We met for the first time in Mercy Fairfield's parking lot when a friend/coworker told Ben we wanted Cherry Cokes. He did not know at the time that neither of the Cherry Cokes he bought was actually for me. She had talked about setting us up before and sent me downstairs to retrieve the drinks from him. We went on our first date just a few days later on August 5, 2015. It had been raining that day, but stopped by the time we got to the restaurant. When we got out of the car at BD's Mongolian Grill there was a double rainbow as if to tell us that this was going to be the beginning of something wonderful! And the rest is history.
