We met at work, Star EMS, approximately 5 years ago. We happened to be working together one night. I commented on how Joe had a really nice signature. He thanked me and told me about how he had wanted to be a professional baseball player. We began our shift with a priority one stroke and Joe quickly took over. I being new to the company and a newer medic, did not entirely know how to handle family objections or managing all our resources on scene. We had to inform the hospital that we were coming in, with a priority one, and Joe handed me the radio and the radio report to the hospital was rather quick and short. Joe knowing that I hated radio reports made sure I did it. We arrived to the hospital shortly after, turned over care to the nurses and doctors and Joe asked if I wanted to talk about it. I was holding back tears and said "No". We did not have a conversation the rest of the night. Fast forward a couple of years and I had been planning to work at the station in Orion and I got an email that Joe and I would be permanent partners. My stomach sank, I figured this was the perfect time to start finding a new job because there was no way him and I were going to get along. The first few shifts we talked and slowly became friends. We dated other people, but after a while I realized he was everythingI wanted. Once people caught on we had a thing for each other the rumors spread. He asked me on many dates and all of which I said no. I finally asked him to be my date to a wedding and ever since then wee have been inseparable.
