And I love you like the mountains loves the way the mornin' opens to a soft and bright greetin' from the sun

Attraction was instant as Ali sat for her interview at Ozarks Tech. Once hired, it took less than a month for our first date at Hold Fast Brewery. We decided to keep our relationship private from co-workers for almost a year... our bosses were ecstatic. Sherry knew after the interview we'd connect instantly and Vicki had whiplash from realizing she didn't notice it - we love you both ladies! Our other co-workers in the office swear they knew or had serious suspicions. Both of us unpacked our past journeys with one-another over the next several years and when we thought it would push the other away - the universe actually drew us even closer. Many trips and amazing experiences with one another all but re-assured us that we'd have to make some serious considerations when considering the idea that eventually we'd need to accept that we might find our lives somewhere else on the world map than what we originally had in mind..... but we discovered something even better. We'd realized that we were already home. Where we were together - either smothering in Tampa or chipping at ice in New Hampshire - we had found our home in one another.
