In late November of 2021, I (Lindsey) was complaining to my best friend, Breanna about how I wanted a nice guy. Hesitantly, Breanna offered her husband’s best friend, Joe, (who I know now, tried to get my number earlier). I wasn’t sure, but I thought it was worth a try. After texting for an hour, I knew I needed to meet this guy, so we planned to meet a couple days later. I was thinking it wouldn’t be anything serious, as he was leaving for a 3 month deployment in a couple weeks, and he lived in Hawaii. Little did I know, Joe made it a mission to keep me around. And the rest is history.
