Desiree and Marc met April 14, 2002 at the Grizzly Rose. They talked, laughed, danced, and finally kissed at the end of the night! They hung out over that summer and had so many good times together. Walking the mall, going to the Drive-In Movies, playing pool, going dancing. As the summer came to a close, Desiree had already prior to meeting Marc had made a commitment to The United States Coast Guard and had to leave October 2, 2002 to fulfill her duties in the military. Over the years, they thought about each other and even called one another to keep in touch. After 18 years of being apart, a failed marriage and a few kids later, Desiree messaged Marc's Brother, John and asked about Marc and if he was single or available to talk. John stated the coast was clear. Desiree then messaged Marc on May 18, 2020 and they started to talk again about the last 18 years and the lessons learned. They sat at a local park for hours a few nights a week and just talked. The night that was the deciding factor was a night at the park lying on the grass under the stars and being able to talk about anything and everything, they both knew they were made for each other!
