We first met in 2010 when we both worked for Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare in Portland as mental health and addiction clinicians. We hung out in a group of other coworkers on occasion, but we didn't become close at that time. When Weather left to pursue medical social work 6 months later, we exchanged phone numbers but never pursued a friendship. Luckily for facebook, we stayed connected over the years until Heidi initiated a date to reconnect with Weather in April of 2016. We drank hard cider, ate pizza, and found that we just clicked. We were so excited about reconnecting we planned our next 4 weeks of Friday adventures out on the town together! The more time we spent together, the more fun we had and the more our connection deepened, evolving into the love and relationship we both dreamed of.
