We met, as many might say, in a fairy tale way through the hallways of a middle school. We were both first year teachers and blessed with coworkers who thought it was a good idea to set us up. Hillary was instantly drawn to JJ's energetic and fun-loving temperament. JJ was attracted to Hillary's straight forward and goofy personality. Because they both understood the possible awkwardness of dating while working together if it didn't work out, they both decided it was best to take things slowly by first building a friendship. After about four months of eating at various restaurants, hiking, and tv marathons, they both agreed to start dating and haven't looked back since.
