Tatum and Spencer first crossed paths at an employee BBQ while working at Larimer County, where they were paired as cornhole partners. Amidst the competition and laughter, Tatum found herself intrigued by Spencer's easygoing nature and charming smile. Determined to get to know him better, Tatum began striking up conversations with Spencer whenever she could. She even brought a plant to his desk, hoping to brighten up his workspace and spark more interactions between the two. Spencer appreciated the gesture, and their chats became a regular part of their day. One day, Spencer asked Tatum to go climbing and let her use his guest pass at the local climbing gym. As they ended the climbing with beers and ping-pong, Tatum turned to Spencer with a playful grin and said, "I am considering this a date." Spencer's eyes lit up, and from that moment on, their story began to unfold naturally, filled with shared adventures and endless laughs.
