We met at Rocky Point Pub in the Summer of 2012. The connection was instantaneous; the smiles were contagious. And for whatever reason, Rob was courageous when he agreed to hop into a doorless, topless Jeep with a girl he just met who was excited to introduce him to some very unique craft brews at Track 84. Our second date was a few weeks later (Rob's a busy guy, and well...I'm a teacher so I have the summers off to sit and ponder excitedly awaiting a return call). That finally came a few weeks later (ugh!) when he wanted to meet up after work for some drinks before he went camping for the weekend with his good friends. We met up at the Atwood Grill in Johnston. Drinks turned into appetizers. Appetizers turned into open invites to join him to help set up his campsite before all his friends got there. That then turned into me meeting all of his good friends, which, in turn, began the beginning of the rest of our lives. We haven't been apart since.
