Gary and I met at a gathering that I planned at the Pachanga Grill restaurant in Odenton, Md, during the summer of 2017 ☀️. It was there that we sat next to each other and enjoyed dinner, music 🎶 and socializing with a group of 6 others from the Anne Arundel 20s & 30s MeetUp. It was clear from the beginning that we had many things in common. After several hours of socializing, Gary paid for my dinner and drinks 🍹 and we left the restaurant together and talked in the parking lot well into the night and long after the others had left. After that, we made plans to meet regularly at Arundel Mills, as it was a halfway point for both of us. The more time we spent together the more we knew there was something special about our relationship. We had many fun and memorable evenings at Arundel Mills watching movies, talking over dinner and strolling through the mall window shopping. The rest is history!❤️
