Jake and I first met about seven years ago. It was Jake's first day of training at The House of Meats in The Anderson's, where I had already been working as a sales clerk for about a year. This day was pretty special for me, considering the boss had FINALLY trusted me to train our new clerk. So, naturally, I was determined to teach this guy every detail about the exciting life of a sales clerk... ...Turns out, Jake has an uncle who manages the entire House of Meats store in Maumee. So, he was just nodding and smiling while I proudly told him ALL about things he already knew. Lucky for me, I inspired Jake to nervously gave me his number on a scrap of paper before leaving my shift that day. We had our first date at Applebee's a few weeks later and it has been an adventure ever since!
