How We Met

Caleb and Christine worked at the same hospital for 15 years but never had an opportunity to get know each other. Rather, Christine (working in the ER) and Caleb (working in the Cardiac Cath Lab) got about 60 seconds of interaction each time in passing off report while an unfortunate soul was having a heart attack. Nothing like shaving a groin and doing chest compressions to light the romantic mood. About a year before they met, their mutual friend Liz tried to set them up on a blind date but Christine was more interested in an organic meet up. Liz and Christine plotted a future bbq where they could meet, but covidy things kept getting in the way of this plan... Until a warm sunny day in July of 2021... Christine had just come back from the hair salon and thought, "I can't waste a good hair day, I should at least go outside and go for a walk." She was video messaging her friend Angie at the time and said "maybe something good will happen on my walk." Within a block from her house, she ran into Caleb and his two kids Paxton and Florence. She said "Hey Caleb!" with a big smile. Caleb, shocked, that this cute girl from the ER was being so friendly with him, blanked and said, "Hi, um, what's your name again?" Christine assumed he was trying to play it cool. But she also found him to be quite cute outside of scrubs, so she let it slide. On the way home, Paxton said to Caleb, "Dad, that chick's a baddie! You should ask her out." (If you are over the age of 14 and reading this and your are just as confused as they were about this term, please refer to the urban dictionary). He later found her online and messaged her, "hey! I've been hoping to run into you, can I take you out?" Christine was actually quite surprised that he had been "hoping" to run into her but yet did not seem to know her name. Confirming her original thoughts that he was trying to play it cool. They had their first date a week later at a restaurant called HOME. Little did he know, it was Christine's favorite restaurant and she thought "omg does he know how romantic this place is?". It turns out, he did not. Christine thought he was really friendly and easy to talk to. She also originally thought he was a serious person, but if anyone knows him, you know that could not be farther from the truth! Caleb thought the conversation flowed well, she was really fun and well traveled with great stories. He knew he had met someone quite special. When he got home later that night, his friends knew it was all over. The rest as we say, is history. Caleb and Christine have been happily locked up in a "love bubble" ever since. Apologies to all the friends and family who had to witness them constantly rave about each other ad nauseam.
