We first met at Bartlett PD when John first came back from the academy. On a few occasions John was lucky enough to ride with me when his FTO was gone for the day. We always had a blast when we got to ride together! Once John was put on his own he ended up on the same rotation as me. We would spend shift change talking and laughing about everything. I recall Kayla saying she thought John was into me because he was always asking about what I was doing and my life in general.

We had gone out a few times with a group of friends but nothing crazy! It all really started on a night out with the pals at Dirty Nellies in Palatine! John was actually being set up with one of our friends coworkers! Little did he know that wouldn't be happening! After a few cold ones, I began to talk about how cute I thought John was. In typical middle school set up fashion, Kayla took it upon herself to go up to John at the bar and to ask what he thought about me. John very nervously said he thought I was really cute. Kayla sprinted away and immediately John was VERY concerned he just messed up and made work very awkward. Kayla like the good friend she is came back right away and told me exactly what John said. I met John at the bar and we took some shots together. Neither of us are too sure about who made the first move but we haven't left each other's side since.
