I wasn’t available for the first date Nate asked me out on, but I jumped at the chance to have breakfast with him the next week. We met for the first time at a small diner, Kosta’s, in Ebensburg. We spent two hours talking about careers, Christmas trees, and trains. I thought he was a dork and everything I’d ever dreamed of. He thought I was “as expected.” Two weeks later, we were sold on each other and the rest is history.
