Our story began February of 2015. Both of us being avid gym goers it is no surprise that we met at the gym. Ryan at the time was working at the Gold's Gym off of Laburnum as a training director while I was a personal trainer at a gym clear across town in Midlothian. If it were not for a long time family friend asking me to whip her into shape our paths may have never crossed. While Ryan is adement that I was responsible for picking him up I see things a little differently. One day after I had finished training I decided to stay to finish my own workout and in the process struck up a conversation with Ryan after asking for a spot. After 20 minutes it was clear the workout was over but the conversation wasn't. Ryan and I had found we had quite a bit in common. In particular, a love of craft beer and guns. Sadly Ryan had to return to work and I had to salvage what was left of my workout. Intrigued by our conversation before I left the gym that day we exchanged numbers. [This is where Ryan Claims I picked him up] According to him in front of his whole team I took out my phone extended my hand and said "Well if we are going to do any of the stuff we talked about I 'm going to need your number." Although our version of the events that led to our first date differ the end result is the same and February 3rd will forever be remembered as the start of our forever.
