Where It All Started...

Mother's Day might be my favorite day of the year.

We met completely by accident. I know, I know, many people start their story with that but for us it is completely true. Mother's Day 2017, Jennifer was working the busiest day of the year as a server at the Cheesecake Factory. Randy, his mother and brother came to Cheesecake Factory looking for a place to have a nice dinner. After hearing the wait would be over 2 and a half hours they turned away and went to check other restaurants down the road. Eventually ( luckily for Jennifer) they returned to wait it out at Cheesecake. While at work , earlier in the shift she was having a rough time. She had confided in her friend Kathy about the dating scene and had explained to Kathy that she was " done with men for a while." The shift got busier and busier so conversation fell by the wayside. About an hour later, Jennifer spotted Randy hanging by the bar watching the Golden State Warriors game on tv. Jennifer ran back to Kathy and pointed him out, explaining how cute he was. Kathy rolled her eyes and moved on with the shift. Turns out fate had other plans for them. Randy ended up getting sat in Jennifer's section to have dinner with his mother Blanca and brother Anthony. After hours of flirting back and forth over dinner orders and cheesecake. With the few occasional jabs at Randy's pickiness of his order, Jennifer was ready to give her number to Randy. Did I mention that she also gave him a free cheesecake... Anthony mentioned to Randy that he "needed to leave his number" because we were "vibing." Anthony was correct, the attraction there was pretty undeniable. Jennifer went to swipe Randy's credit card and noticed his number was written on the bill. So, she slid her number in her pocket not making it obvious that she also was interested. Being so flustered she accidentally slid Randys card into her pocket...oops The deal was sealed from the very beginning. Jennifer texted Randy the next day ( trying not to make it too obvious she was interested) and the rest is history as they say it.
