Tillamook Oregon of all places, we met in the city everyone knows for cheese. By fate or by chance our lives collided in a way neither of us expected. She moved to the Oregon coast when she was offered a job teaching, he came here on a whim needing a change. Eventually, he would get a job at the very same school as her and help with behaviorally challenged students. She just so happened to have a lot of them. Between reading groups and recess they would begin to see each other not just as friends, but maybe something more. They would go on to explore up and down the coast together, fall in love, and yes, grade papers. It may be a simple story, but its ours.
