I love Minnesota, but not a fan of the roads in the winter. Derek didn't let that stop him from meeting me, Jan 10th, 2017 after being introduced by Derek's cousin's wife, Chellsea Petersen, we had communicated for about a month. We decided to meet at Pinstripes for Dining, Bistro, and Boche Ball. It was your typical blizzard day in January and Derek's brother Luke graciously offered to drive Derek down in his truck. They braved the roads for 6 hours to get here, and Derek and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Derek drove back 6 hours later after our 3 hour date. From the first date on, we both felt confident this was going to be more than just that one date. :)
