The first time Tanner discovered Joelle was when she was volunteering at the Miller Foods annual Thanksgiving tent in 2006. Joelle was a senior in high school and dressed to the nines in her chef coat and her tall chef hat which had her name embroidered into it. She really impressed Tanner with her exquisite culinary skills as she served frozen mashed potatoes and canned turkey gravy. From afar, Tanner watched her as she served the patrons. He was both impressed and captivated by not only her beauty, but her lively spirit. Joelle, on the other hand, had no idea of his existence at this point. Tanner had already fallen for her but he didn't know it yet. After the long work days in the tent Tanner would keep an eye out for the illusive demo chef but, alas he was only able to catch a glimpse of her and she slipped away, never to be heard of again. October 12, 2016. Back at Miller Foods. Joelle was now working for The Bee's Knees for an Avon Chamber of Commerce event. It was a chilly fall evening and as Joelle served the guests, she noticed an incredibly handsome farmer boy dressed in a plaid jacket and big boots walking around setting up tables. She was not only attracted to his looks, but he had a shy and sweet disposition. She was excited to learn of his existence, and wondered what his story was. Maybe he'd come over and talk to her? Maybe he'd want to know about her too and even ask for her number? Finally the moment she had been waiting for happened. He cautiously walked up to her and with a smile, Tanner asked Joelle...for a cup of water and then disappeared. To be continued...
