Well where do I begin. Our story is somewhat interesting and yet makes sense. I dont remember the month exactly but we met in 2022 at the doctors office that I worked at. TJ (Thomas) called in during lunch hour an the nurses were at lunch. I took the call and remembering that he was feeling off and it turns out his sugars were super high. Over 500 I believe. I told him to get the ER right away. So he did. A few day later, he comes in for his follow up and I am the one that gets to room him.


As soon as he comes back, and we make eye contact and I just knew that my soul had finally found my other half. From right then and there, we hit it off, but there was an issue that it didnt get further as I was in a relationship at the time. Anyways, TJ was all of the sudden coming in a lot more for appointments. I was oblvious to this at the time, but apparently we were flirting, and flirting bad. I didnt realize it at the time. I was like he knows I have someone. Then we were no longer allowed to be alone. I would have someone else in the room with me to help with vitals. I remember he had called the clinic and we somehow got off topic and he asked me what my favorite color was. When I told him red and asked him why, he said so I know what color flowers to get you. Me in horror told him not to. Then come September 2022, I decided to take a job with a different office. He had called to set up a lab appointment and I made it for my last day. I did tell him about it being my last day. So my last day, he comes in for his appointment and what does he bring me!?!? Red roses from his own rose bush garden. I was shocked and thought that was very sweet.


Now lets fast forward a few months. I am following a sad story that my friend was posting about. Her friend had gotten married and her new husband started complaining about stomach pain. Turns out, he had cancer and was gone to soon. When reading the obituary, I noticed TJs name listed as his brother. I was shocked and sad that this had happened to his brother, but the universe bringing his name up and back. I wanted to send my condlensces and after a long search and right Facebook, I sent him a message expressing my sympathy. Then from there, things have been incredible. Our first date that really wasnt a date, it was like hey I am going here want to go and that was at Sue Wes Dixon water fowl in Hennepin. There we watched the sunset and talked for hours after dark. We knew we needed to go, so we left but we still had a lot more to talk about and we talked on the phone going our seperate ways home.
Our first official date, we met up after we both got off work and we went wild asparagus hunting. That was a fun experience. Cutting down wild fresh asparagus was something I never thought I would do. When the sun started going down, we ended up going to dinner at a local pizza place. There we laughed and talked some more. By the end of the dinner, we still didnt want to leave each other. I remember telling him about a dream I had that, that he had kissed me. Then all of a sudden, he kissed me. We laughed like little high school kids after that. He then asked me to go with him to the campground that he has a camper. I agreed. We went there and laid down by the lake, looking at the stars and listening to Classic Oldies. That was a beautiful night I will never forget.
