Ryan and I met on my 1st day as a bartender at the Tacoma Dome , he walked in and just like in the cheese ball rom-coms the whole earth stopped and the only two people around were Ryan and I. Ryan , as many of you know is painfully shy if he doesnt know you, so me being me I went up to him and told him we needed to go have a beer after work.He (shockingly) agreed,so after work we headed to my local watering hole the "fish" if you were in your early 20's that was The spot to hang out in North Tacoma to cause shenanigans,drink beer , and make some amazing friends.Of course all of my friends who i would spend lots of time with had to give Poor Ryan a hard time, but he took it all in stride, and eventually were as excited to see him as they were me! That was almost 15 years , one 11 year old boy,and one HELL of a year of ups and downs.We have made it through so much and we continue to learn and grow from each other,but we could NEVER have made it through all of the hard times with out our family and good friends!
