I was a waitress at Texas Roadhouse, and Toby would always come in and sit at the bar top. I always noticed him but never thought much about it. My roommate at the time was a bartender and eventually introduced us. Thank you Katie Kimball! We casually would talk when he came in to eat, and then he slid into my DMs ;) From there he came to our Dirty Christmas Party and he won me over by two stepping with me in the kitchen of our apartment complex. One thing led to another and he took me out on our first date. He picked me up in his dad's scrambler and took me to Bonefire (our now favorite spot). I knew that night sitting across from him at dinner, this was it!
I was in Golden, CO for a girls trip, Toby told me he was going fishing for the weekend. My girlfriends got me to dress all cute for the day, which I wasn't quit sure why because we were supposed to go "hike" Look Out Mountain. We ate lunch and went to a few breweries beforehand and at the time I was getting tired and just wanted to go back and take a nap before our night out. The girls were insisting we go hiking so we took an Uber to the top of the mountain and got out to start hiking. I was starting to complain ALOT, because of the heels. I finally looked up from complaining and saw Toby standing on the mountain top waiting for me. I can relive that moment over and over. The sound, the smell, what he was wearing, the way I felt. His voice was so shaky, he couldn't stop smiling. It was perfect!
