In 2018 Tom and Hannah met at fields Jeep in Glenview IL, Tom was working the express oil change department in the shop and Hannah was a concierge in the service department and worked in the cafe area. We started talking in January of 2019 after Tom's best friend Aldin and his girlfriend at the time made it their mission to set us up ( more or less Aldin went through the motions to Appice his girlfriend). We talked for a couple of months. We talked a lot for the first month and a half. The first time we hung out was on a Saturday after work. Tom had just received his new tire carrier for his first child the Rover. He was excited to install it and asked if I was free to chill in the bay while he worked on it. A couple weeks later we went to the 2019 auto show in Chicago. That night I accidently left my ID on the floorboard. it fell out of my purse. I remember calling him to tell him and he was so sweet to bring it all the to Antioch from Northbrook for me. By February 23rd of 2019 Tom and Hannah became official.

We have had many adventures together early on. This picture Was from a Day trip where we went to Devils Lake in Wisconsin. Tom had never been, and I told him it was a beautiful place we should go to together. Tom had taken his first Saturday in the history of his career off. It was a wonderful day and we had great quality time together. Even though I struggled to hike up to balanced rock (at one point my bad knee popped). Tom was very encouraging and supportive the whole way. It's one of the many qualities that I love about him he has this amazing ability to be encouraging even if I'm feeling defeated at the time. He always manages to pick me up and make me feel like I can accomplish anything.
