The two met at Altman, Rogers & Co. Monica worked out of the Soldotna office and Tucker in the Anchorage office. Monica worked on audits and went to Anchorage on occassion. The staff in Anchorage were a tight group and invited Monica to lunch. As time went on, Monica and Tucker crossed paths. The company holiday Christmas party was the first time Tucker made his move by asking her to dance, but she was relcutant to start anything and declined the offer this time. The next time they happened to be in the same location, Juneau, they were able to talk more as the audit teams met for dinner and drinks. During the trip, she realized how kind and respectful he was. Despite the distance, they continued to talk and increase their communication. In the late spring, Tucker decided to drive to Soldotna to visit for a weekend... little did Monica know that this would become a part of their normal life for the next year and a half... after which Monica decided to move back home to Anchorage and pursue her love (Tucker) and passion (audit).
