In fall of 2012, Tess started a new job at Beyond.com, little did she know her career move would have such an impact on her love life! When she started working in Client Services, she met Josh a fellow team member. Josh was a little shy at first, but slowly they started talking, and found similar interest like Peanut M&Ms and hot beats (like Sia and Taylor Swift). Every Thursday the two started swapping stories from the night before, each Wednesday Josh went bowling with the guys and Tess played Quizzo with her roommates. Conversations at work turned into texts & chatting outside of the office, when one day, Tess took the leap! Josh had mentioned being invited to a friend's boyfriend's birthday party, but he was concerned he wouldn't know many people there. Tess offered to attend with Josh to keep him company, and he accepted. The two met for drinks at a bar in Manayunk, and then headed across the street to join the party. And, the rest, as they say, is history!
