For starters we can thank Milton Middle School and CVS for bringing us to Janesville. Little did we know that moving away from our hometowns would bring us together that cold night on New Year’s Eve. Moving away from home has its challenges and we both considered leaving our first year. Then, you meet fantastic people and change your mind. Those fabulous people built an amazing friendship with Joe and then with me. One of those people, Tara sits tearing pull tabs at Sneakers bar in a shopping plaza attached to a shoe store. I know what my fellow flat landers are thinking a shopping plaza with a bar? One word Wisconsin! Flash forward me in my car practically crying thinking about my past New Year’s spent downtown Chicago with flashy dresses and high heels. I enter the bar it's packed with trucker hats, camp, and cowboy boots everywhere. Where have I landed I say to myself I need a drink and quick. I squeeze myself into a tiny spot at the bar and then there he was. I thought I was having a terrible night. Here sat Tara with Joe and thousands of tiny pieces of paper littered the bar. I thought a fight on New Year’s with your girlfriend awful, maybe she was hoping for a ring. For about on hour we pretended not to notice one another. He would look I'd look away. She would look at me I definitely look away. He was a taken man so I thought. Then he spoke. I was taken aback how could a guy right in front of his girl hit on me. Oh no! I wasn't the type. Then just like Tara steps in greats me as Joe's pal, asks me to drive Joe home, and walks out. Now calm down this isn't that kinda story. He looks back at me and says this is a great band. Before you know it that magic hour arrived, streamers flying, horns blowing, and everyone's kissing but you. Then it's bar close and now we must take this guy home. We walk him to his door and say our goodnight. I turn to leave and then that Hallmark Disney moment arrives. He grabs my hand pulls me back and I finally get that NewYears Kiss!
