It was April 9th, 2016 and I was walking down Main Street in Galena, IL with my friend Kiley, just enjoying the beautiful Saturday afternoon! All of a sudden, a man comes running out of a bar across the street and yells for us to come over and join him! This slightly intoxicated man was Zeke McCartney, who was in Galena on a Young Lawyers bar crawl. So right after he got our attention, a woman runs out to be his wingwoman and it’s my longtime friend Myia!! So I dash across the street to say hi to her and meet Zeke, who I find out lives right upstairs from me in our downtown apartment building!! What are the chances!! We live just steps away from each other in Iowa and meet randomly on the street in Illinois! He was sweet from the start and bought me a drink, although he silently judged me for being ‘fancy’ and getting a Bud Light instead of a Busch Light. We later decided we should have a drink on our apartment deck sometime :) Little did we know how many amazing times we would have while getting to know each other and falling in love over a drink on the deck ❤️
