Danielle got hired at CASCI in August of 2017 and Josh got hired in October of the same year. Danielle noticed Josh every time she would go to her friend’s desk and made sure Josh did the same. The two had become friends on Facebook a short time after learning one another’s names. One weekend Josh was going to have a get together at his house and messaged Danielle on Facebook to invite her. Danielle polietly declined, knowing it wouldn’t be a baby friendly party. The next day at work, Josh apologized to Danielle for inviting her over Facebook instead of in person and gave her his phone number, in case she changed her mind. She did not go to the party.

For their first date, Josh bought Filet Mignon and took Danielle to Ridenour Lake. Danielle was a little concerned because she didn’t know there was a lake in Nitro, but also because she thought Filet Mignon was fish- and she does not like fish. Josh still laughs about it to this day. After showing off his cooking skills, the two headed out to Kanawha State Forest where Josh showed Danielle how to shoot a couple different types of guns- something she has only done once in her life. Danielle’s favorite memory of the day is when she shot a laundry detergant lid on her first try.
