We met on my first day of my new job at the VA. I had just moved to Vermont on a whim for this job and did not know anyone, was starting with a clean slate in a new state and had no intention of looking for a relationship. Back to the first day, I was with a group of people that were also new going room to room meeting everyone, we got to Chads office and I just smiled. Day 2 of training I did not have anyone to sit with so I got out of my comfort zone walked into his office pulled up a chair and asked him if he could train me. While doing this I was also looking for a wedding ring to make sure he was available. We talked for a while, left for the day and as I was walking out I got a Facebook friend request followed by a message "would you want to have lunch together tomorrow?" and that is how this journey started.
