How we met (long story short)

First comes working at a bar and then 16 years later comes marriage!

Jeff and I met working at Back East when I had been teaching for a couple of years and needed a 2nd and 3rd job to make ends meet. Jeff worked in the kitchen and I was a server. His mom Lee Ann also worked there and we became fast friends! She told me after my first couple of weeks that her son thought I was cute and I should date him. Well it took a bit longer than she hoped for but we made it here! Jeff and I bumped into each other at a movie in June 2024, parked right across from each other at the same time. We decided to have a lunch to catch up and it was clear from that lunch that it would not be the last.
