In December 2019, I made my 4th move in 4 years back to Ferndale, WA with my job. It was supposed to be temporary for 3-4 months and I was supposed to go back to Kansas. Long story short, I stayed in Ferndale. In April 2020, I moved into a great rental house. The only problem was in July 2020 when the base of the toilet started to leak. I told my landlord and she called a plumber that she had known for 15+ years. When he came over to assess the situation, he started asking me questions such as what I did for work, where I was from, did I go to church, and if I was single.. I was a little caught off guard as to why this older gentleman was asking if I was single, but at the end of his interview of me, he told me that he had a son for me. This was the 4th person that had said they were going to set me up since I moved back so I didn't take him seriously when he said he would bring him by... That was a mistake. They didn't call before they came over to replace the toilet, and he did bring his son. I was in the middle of getting ready to go to a dinner with some friends so my hair was a poufy mess, my house was not as clean as it could have been, and I was running around trying to get my life together. When they came in, his dad said that the bathroom was too small for both of them to be in there so that he should just stay out in the living room and talked to me. 30 minutes go by, and his dad pops out of the bathroom and asks what I'm doing on Sunday. I couldn't think of a lie, so he invited me to family lunch and told Lyle to get my number so he could send me the address. Very smooth.. From there, we spent 3 months talking and seeing each other before we said we were both interested in dating each other. Then it took Lyle another 3 months to actually ask me to be his girlfriend. From there, our friendship grew into a relationship, and now I couldn't imagine spending my life with anyone else. Here's to becoming a Hughs!
