We met on April 1, 2017, while I was on vacation with family and Justin at the time was working temporary assignment at the Space Center for Boeing. I wasn’t supposed to be in Cocoa Beach. I had just spent spring break in Daytona Beach with family and had three extra days after they left so i randomly picked Cocoa Beach to spend my last 3 days on the beach by myself. On my last night I was told by locals that i had to go eat dinner at Grills at the Port so that’s where I ended up. (Justin really tells this story way better than I do) This place was packed so the only seat was at the end of the bar. I was starving so I had 3 plates of food in front of me, including sushi which I was attempting to eat with chopsticks and failing horribly. At this time I hear someone behind me say, “First time?” LOL He says he felt bad for me because I was annihilating my sushi and it seemed like a fun conversation to start. He also will say that I looked like I was with someone because of the 3 plates of food in front of me and he swears there was room for 1 more at the bar but I don’t remember this being the case because I would have let him sit down next to me. LOL Justin had already been to 3 other restaurants that night attempting to order take out but they were so busy he gave up and Grills was his last attempt. He never did order any food though. Instead he kept talking to me. He said he later picked up Wendy’s. And that’s how it all began. We couldn’t stop talking. The next day he took me around to different places looking for manatee and dolphins. We had lunch at Sandbar before I had to leave for the airport. We kept talking after that, I went home to Indiana and he went home to Pennsylvania. We would meet in Columbus, OH and go on dates. He came to Indiana and I went to Pennsylavania a few times. Then he took a permanent job for Boeing at the Space Center, so we moved to Florida together and here we are! One of the best decisions we ever made! ❤️
