It was Cinco De Mayo on a Thursday afternoon where both Sutton and I were out at Baja Grill in downtown Benton with friends. I was meeting a girlfriend from work and her husband (boyfriend at the time). We sat at a table right next to the hostess. Not long after sitting down, my friend suddenly nudged me “psst, behind you” and was eye balling a man standing right by the front entrance.
Sutton was the first of his entire friend group to arrive at the restaurant and was waiting to get a table for everyone.
At this time, I was VERY single and every single one of my girl friends were constantly pointing men out in public for me to talk to.
So I casually turned around and remember seeing a tall, brown haired man with a flannel and hat on. Soon after that the hostess took him to their table. My friend who I was with flagged down the hostess (they were friends) and told her to get the boy with the flannels number for me.
She then goes “oh I think I have it already! They reserved a table online and a cell phone number has to be put in for the reservation!”.
So we got the number from the hostess and I decided to text it. Why not?!
Well, turns out it was Sutton’s friend who actually made the reservation. So when I texted the number, I just said I was looking for the “cute tall guy with the hat on”.
I texted Sutton that night, we talked on and off for the next 2 days and he asked me out on our first date Saturday night! (Picture above is a pic I snapped real quick during our first date)
We ended up hanging out the next day and pretty much every day from then on! Annnnd… the rest is history!
