They first met at work about 4 years ago. Jennifer was teaching 5th grade and Domenic was working as a night custodian at Dennis Earl Elementary. He would come through her classroom after school and spend some time chatting with her. She was oblivious of his interest in her and instead wondered how he ever got any work done if he talked to all the staff as much as he talked with her! Even though she didn't express any interest at that time, she did think it was extremely cute that he would feed carrots to a classroom bunny to make up for scaring him with the vacuum. That act of kindness is what made Jen sad when she found out that they were transferring him to another school site. Neither of them thought much of each other after that as life continued on. Then, in December of 2019 Domenic was hired as the lead custodian at Earl. When Jen read the e-mail she immediately sent Natalie (her work bff) a text and asked if he was the "bunny guy". Jen was happy for him because she thought he was a super nice guy and Natalie was already wondering if he was single..... Soon both of them "just happened" to run into each other quite a bit around campus. A few nudges from various co-workers got them both thinking that there could be something there. Then on the Tuesday before the President's weekend in February, Domenic decided to ask Jen out for coffee. They agreed on Saturday night after she got back from her trip to Disneyland. While she was on that trip they spent a great deal of time texting back and forth and getting to know each other. By the time Saturday came around, Domenic decided that they had moved beyond just coffee and wanted to take her out to dinner instead. He took her to sushi and then ice cream after. They both knew that night that there was something special beginning. Life has had many ups and downs these last few months, but through it all they have found support and strength in each other. They can't wait to begin this new journey together!
