We're doin' the dang thing!

It was a cold and stormy night...... just kidding, but kind of actually, it really was. Ben had just had his 500th knee surgery and I (Hannah) was working for a job at the time that required late hours. The company that Ben was working for at the time was having a holiday party that he was less than inclined to attend given his lack of mobility, but his friends convinced him to go for at least a while. I was told I had to work on this particular night, but had been invited as a plus one by my friend who also worked for the same company. Some how, some way, I was able to get work off for the night and join my friend at her work party. Ben and I had gone to high school together but had never connected or become friends, but we did recognize each other. Ben and his friend boldly walked/crutched up to me on my 3rd IPA and we got to talkin'. We instantly connected over our many paths crossed over the years having grown up in the same community and playing the same sports. 5 minutes went by and we went our separate ways, however when I woke up the next morning I had a new follow request on instagram from the one and only Ben Doggett. About a week passed and I finally got the courage to "slide into his DMs" as the kids call it these days. We exchanged interactions here and there via social media for about a week before Ben asked if I would want to get a beer sometime, We met up at Iron Goat and talked for the entire night. We had an instant connection and the rest is history!
