Thomas and Erica went to school in Waseca. While being in different grades, they shared one year of marching band together. Through this year of band they knew of each other, but that was the extent. Until 2015... Thomas and Erica both lived and worked in Mankato. Then one day Erica and Thomas met at his work, but went their separate ways. Then a few days later, Thomas messages Erica over Facebook, and they talked constantly. After a few days of messaging, Erica went over to Thomas' place and watch a movie; and it is joked that Erica never left. And here they are now, almost at their one year wedding anniversary!
