Mark was waiting patiently at the bar at Mexico Lindo on a cold day in November. What he didn't know was that she was sitting in her car for roughly 5 minutes deciding if she should walk in and meet him. Thankfully, she decided to go on the date after some encouragement from her friends. They immediately clicked by talking about their shared love of music and Mark was seriously trying to impress her. Lucky for him, she was already hooked, after all, she knew he had an adorable family dog and a very warm, friendly smile. After those first few hours together, they agreed to go out again. The next few hours of their lives took place at the Stone Zoo for the Zoolights attractions. Mark got there first and waited in 20 degree temperature for Meghan. He knew standing there in the cold was worth it just to see her again. They spent their time walking around the Zoo and enjoying the animals. They didn't want the date to end there so they got a drink at JJ Grimbsy's. It was there that Meghan found out that he would talk to anyone about anything. She didn't have to worry about always needing to entertain him. After those few hours, he knew she was someone special. Soon it wasn't just spending hours together, those hours quickly turned into days, months, and years. All of the great times happened because she decided to get out of the car and go on a date with a guy that had an adorable dog.
