We fell in love with Gunflint Lodge before we fell in love with each other. Jacob worked here for six years before we met and just happened to be away for Betsy's first season working at the stables (2012). Our boss Mandy Huskey, who denies any culpability, would casually talk about Jacob and how nice and interesting he was. I went back to Boston after six months knowing I would definitely be back for the next summer. While I was gone Jacob returned to Gunflint and Mandy would sometimes mention me to him as someone she thought he would like. When I arrived for the '13 wrangling season Jacob worked at the stables for about a week helping us get the horses back into the swing of their jobs. While we got along great, neither of us were thinking romantically at the time. I even told Mandy that I wanted to be single for the season about two weeks before our first kiss! One day after work we decided to go target shooting and when we got back to the Lodge I mentioned that I didn't want to cook and asked if Jacob wanted to get dinner at the bar with me. Halfway through dinner the bartender pulled me aside and let me know that Jacob had paid for my food and drinks. He asked if we were on a date and I said "I don't think so!" When I asked Jacob if it was a date, he smiled and asked "Do you want it to be?" I did, and we just ran with it from there. We've lived and worked together all over the country and are now back where it all began in the place both of us think of as home.
