Tom and I were very lucky to have some friends who thought highly of us as individuals and thought we should meet.. unfortunately or fortunately our schedules never lined up so they gave each of us the others number and said ok get in touch. It's funny how we were probably in the same place at some point but never met.
So, luckily I texted Tom the day I got his number Sunday August 18 (I oddly wasn't working) to see if he wanted to go out for a drink, he was busy having dinner with his parents, which made me even more interested to meet him. But we texted that night after his dinner was done and that continued non-stop for a few days and Wednesday was our first date August 21 at Antojitos in the center of North Attleboro and the rest is history!
Funny story- on our first date we were talking and Tom lived in Mansfield, so I asked him if it was on Ware Street, since it's one of the only streets I actually know in Mansfield. And to my surprise he did- I thought he was kidding but he actually lived on Ware Street, which is funny because it's the only street I know because it's where my mom grew up and at the time where my grandmother lived & still now my Aunt's family lives. Small world!
