Jer's Favorite Story to Tell

There was this trip Liz and I took, shortly after we had started seeing each other, to Muscatine. We hadn’t yet made it “official” but clearly were a couple. She had been there a day or two before to visit her brother to have dinner but had forgotten her debit card. We got her card, had a nice dinner and headed out. As we walked out, she turned around in the middle of the parking lot and said, “We’re having this conversation.” Now, if you’ve met Liz, you know she’s not usually this confrontational. I guess I bring it out in her. Oops? Anyway, she climbs in my truck and does not wait for my input. “I’m proud of this relationship, and I want to tell people. I’m just letting you know I’m putting it on Facebook that I’m in a relationship. You can too if you want, or don’t.” I had no choice here. The decision was made. I put up no argument because, well, duh, and thought that was that. Fast forward 20 minutes and my phone is buzzing off the hook. I open Facebook, and see, “In a Relationship with Liz Tjaden” as a “Life Event” and dozens of likes and comments. Now this is where I share that Liz bragged to me early in our relationship that she didn’t cry over boys. Friends, let me tell you, that quickly became a lie alongside the road outside Lone Tree. Totally mortified. I could not have thought it was funnier – not that she was crying, but because it honestly felt like an episode of a sitcom. That day we became Facebook official, but truth be told the game was over that first night we sat down on the patio at Red’s in North Liberty, and then when we kissed by my truck after karaoke at J&A’s. Our life is a series of dopey misadventures like the Facebook story, but it’s what makes our life so damn much fun. We both were just sort of stumbling around being foolhardy, searching for each other. Once we did, Nov. 7, 2020 was an inevitability – as sure a thing as the sun coming up. Thank God for dating apps, GIFs, double texts and not knowing how Facebook works.
