Shad and I met through a mutual friend. Our first date was 11/8/14 at the Copper Club. We had talked via text prior to meeting. It was a blind date. Shad showed up on his bike, laughing right away about how he had planned on beating me there! We hit it off right away, talking about common interests. I remember him telling me about a recent river trip he had just been on......I laugh now of what I thought a river trip was all about and what I know now. (They are great btw!) We have been together ever since, growing into a loving family of 5 now.
