The story all starts when Lisa was hired into Northern Physical Therapy by one of our close friends Lauren. While working at Northern, Lisa became friends with Bridget. This is key because at the time, Bridget was renting a room at Eric’s house. In 2017, Eric went on a business/vacation trip to Taiwan and Thailand for 10 days. During this time, Lisa came over to help walk Owen occasionally with Bridget and Trevor (Owen really laid the groundwork for bringing Lisa into Erics life). After returning from Asia, Eric went with a group for ice cream, this group included Lisa. While eating ice cream, Lisa and Bridget began talking about plans to go shopping. During the course of this discussion, Eric began teasing Lisa that he needed a fresh pair of sandals and that Lisa should be the one to get them for him. A week later, Eric received a letter from Lisa (yes by mail) that contained a printed photo of sandals with a written note about how she couldn’t find the pair that I wanted so hopefully the picture would work. From there, as they say, the rest is history. Their first date was to Craigs Cruisers to play putt-putt (Eric won, naturally) followed up by some ice cream at Frosty Boy. 3 ½ years later, while taking Owen for a walk downtown, while crossing the blue bridge Eric got down on one knee to propose (for real this time). With the snow falling and our parents waiting for us at the other end of the bridge (and a few unnamed strangers passing by) Lisa said yes!
