Long ago in the far away nation of Covidious, the villagers were confined to their chambers in an attempt to halt the vicious plague that rotted their lands. But we won’t speak too far into the darkness of these times…the isolation from loved ones, the famine of butt napkins, nor the theories of corruption…no…this tale is one of how a Tinderella, fell in love with a Tinderman. Hundreds of miles apart, our lovers lived their separate lives, not knowing they were journeying closer to one another.

Our Nobleman (Tinderman), was a highly sought after Agronomist/Viticulturist who spent his days in expedition of new lands offering knowledge to the farmers in hope of prosperity for their crops. One territory after another, the villagers sang of the high yields from their fields. Tinderman was pleased with the affluence he brought to the honorable farmers but knew he was meant to pilgrimage beyond his parents kingdom. The King and Queen of House Morgan Hill were filled with sorrow knowing that their son urged to go beyond their boarders but knew he would create a glorious kingdom of his own and bestowed him with their blessing.

Tinderella, a Surgical Technologist, spent her labored days assisting the Healers with ailed Vikings in the land of Minnesota. Unlike the many who retained their coin from the comfort of their dwellings, Tinderella seized the opportunity to travel to distant lands. When the Queen’s heart (her mother) grew weaker, her journey brought her to a place known to the locals as Idafornia (Idaho), where she continued her duties aiding the new people in this new land. Though she was closer to half of her family, she felt the absence of her friends, family and pet pigs back home.

Luckily for our unknowingly perfect match there was, at the time, a service called “Online dating”. Which for all purposes to our theme will consist of painted portraits and quill-pen written letters (use your imagination). A service not meant for those of desperation, but for those who labor rather than sit in amusement at the village alehouse night -after-night (just kidding, of course we went to the bars). One night, Tinderella received a handsome portrait of a man along with a letter that read…

“Dear Tinderella,

I’ve seen your portrait and your beauty is beyond compare, please join me for a ride on my trusty stead. Give me the chance to court you with a marvelous feast and the finest wine this land has to offer!”

Or something like that…

The very next day, Tinderella could not conceal her excited spirit, she wrote back to the Nobleman.

“Dear Tinderman”

Your words flatter but are not a true testament to your actions. I will give you the opportunity to court me but with a warning… my journey will not keep me here for very long.”

Again, something like that…

Tinderella was strong-willed and stubborn but her weakness was easily peaked after gazing her eyes upon the handsome nobleman and his stead (Harley street glide special). He whisked her away to show her the sights of this new land under a blanket of stars. After many nights spent together, dancing, cooking, and talking about the future, they were inseparable. Albeit sad they would be far from many of their loved ones, they knew their paths crossed at the right time. Tinderella and Tinderman would make this their new home with the plan to build their kingdom.

I hope you enjoyed the story! With some minor alteration to the truth ;D

It’s not always rainbows that bring you to the pot of gold. Sometimes certain paths lead you out of your comfort zone to the person that is meant to be the next chapter of your life. Eli and I found each other and have experienced so much already! Became part of a community, surrounded ourselves with loved ones, explore the outdoors of Idaho and create new adventures together. We cannot wait for what comes next, fairy tale or not.
