Brians mom probably wants to take credit for this! I was friends with Chelle (Brian's mom) before I even knew Brian. She told me she had a son in the military, but he was stationed in Germany. I was not interested. Germany?! In 2015 I worked as a bartender at The Buffalo Chip in Sturgis. Brian also was there but on vacation with his family. Apparently one night, Mikal (Chelle's boyfriend), came to the bar I was working at and introduced us. I was busy and don't remember and neither does he. So we basically never met, haha. Fast forward, I befriended him on Facebook and we started messaging each other. A message here and there soon turned into talking to each other all day every day. Brian was planning on coming back home to visit his family for one month that summer. So we planned to meet and hang out. When he got to Colorado that summer, we spent every day together and went to Sturgis again together. After the month of visiting he had to go back to Germany. I was obviously devastated. Four months later I moved to Germany! Talk about a leap of faith!
