July 2019 - We met at work!

We both didn’t expect it and yet we started working together and admired each other for how we treated others and how we thought through problems.

We had a work trip in Seattle that our boss was supposed to attend… last minute she couldn’t make it because she wanted to be at her son’s first day of kindergarten. We spent hours at each meal together, talking about life outside work and bonding over our love for good food and country music.
