The first day Stephen and I met was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where I had been newly hired by Code 3 Medical Services as their Director of Marketing! As Stephen recalls, I came click clacking into the Boy's club and he was having NONE of it! I on the other hand was SUPER nervous as I was starting in a new industry and had so much to learn so I was FOCUSED on the tasks at hand. I was thrown into the group by playing the patient and getting all the hands on experience that week. Towards the end of the first day Lee had asked if I would like to go back to the hotel while they cleaned up and released the class, I said sure I will go back and get myself ready for dinner. He tasked Stephen with taking me back to the hotel and this is when I got to learn a little bit about Stephen. He talked the whole 30 minutes it took to get there! I laughed so hard with all of his stories. During that week I got to know more about Stephen and the whole group BUT I quickly found myself wanting to know more about Stephen! I was single at the time but Stephen was not available so I just moved on with life and when we did get to see each other I always found myself laughing with him and just needing to know more about him. Needless to say I was attracted to him and just never let that out as the timing just wasn't right. WELL fast forward to October 2020, Stephen randomly reached out to me while he was on a hunting trip with the guys. I was very thrown off by this as we usually didn't communicate unless it was work related and this was a random Friday night and we had nothing coming up that I would see him for. We texted back and forth that night and never stopped talking! From that random Friday night text we turned from co-workers to friends to dating, engaged and now MARRIED! We are both so excited for this next step in our lives together.
