💕 Our Story Angela’s Perspective Angela was running the Arlington Farmers Market in early 2020 when she first noticed Bobby — and thought he was pretty cute. He was one of the regulars who always caught her eye, often sneaking glances her way as he wandered through the market. One chilly February morning, Bobby showed up wearing sandals while Angela was bundled up in snow boots. She decided to take her shot and teased, “Don’t you think it’s a little cold for sandals?” Bobby simply said, “Yep” and walked away. Still, he kept coming back to the market every weekend, even during the early pandemic days when customers had to wait in line to get in. A few months later, Angela was swiping on Hinge and did a double-take when she saw Bobby’s profile, his photo was taken at her market. They matched, and on their first date at Fort C.F. Smith Park, they spent hours talking about life, family, and what they wanted for the future. Angela was upfront: she wasn’t looking for something casual, she was ready to build something real. And now, here they are, still building, this time, literally rebuilding their first home together. Bobby’s Perspective: Bobby had noticed the outgoing, confident market manager long before she ever spoke to him. Angela was always talking with the farmers and customers, bringing the whole market to life and he couldn’t help but admire her energy. When she called him out for wearing sandals on that freezing February morning, he panicked, muttered “Yep” and walked away immediately. From then on, whenever she covered a vendor’s stand, Bobby would try to avoid it he didn’t want to be “that guy” hitting on someone at work. But when he saw her pop up on Hinge, he thought maybe ... just maybe... she had been flirting after all. They matched, and true to form, Angela didn’t waste time. She told him straight out, “I’m not on these apps to talk, I’m on here to meet someone I can build something with.” And now, a few years (and countless renovations) later, they’re doing exactly that, building a life, a home, and a future together.
