After 18 years of living in the same town, TJ and Ally knowingly crossed paths for the first time on May 30th, 2016. It was Ally’s first day at Portland Products, Inc. where TJ had been working as a supervisor for a few years. After months of “spontaneous” run ins and casual conversations, TJ finally reached out to Ally and asked her to dinner … which involved sitting down with Ally’s parents prior to connect on the elephant in the room … the age gap. Eventually, we made it official on February 4th, 2017.
