For those who know us well, you already know this story — but for everyone else, here’s how it all began. Jake and I met through a mutual friend, and after he asked me to go to a CoJo concert… I may or may not have ghosted him. Eek. Oops. Thankfully, Dani pushed me to text him back, and just after Valentine’s Day I slid back into his messages. Well, in the middle of that week, Dani and I decided to do a girls’ dinner… or so I thought. I showed up literally in my scrubs, totally unprepared, and halfway through dinner in walks Jake. I was so embarrassed — but he was so cute and so sweet that I couldn’t even be mad. And then, when it came time to pay, he laughed and told us he’d left his wallet at the gas station. We cracked up, and he kept saying, “I promise I have money, Dani, I’ll pay you back!” We still laugh about that moment. We eventually picked a day to meet for dinner so we could actually talk and get to know each other — because Jake was very persistent about meeting in person and not just texting. The next weekend we met at Bad Daddy’s for dinner, and honestly… the rest was history.
