We worked together for a year, but never interacted more than a simple "Hey, how are ya?!" Toward the end of the school year, our co-worker invited both of us to the Dierks Bentley concert. We battled against each other in baggos while tailgating, which I distinctly remember winning. Once we were in the concert we discovered our love of "summer country" music. I instantly fell in love with his raspy singing voice and the rest is history!
