I was a travel nurse living in Reno, NV for an assignment at the time. Comstock Windmill Festival was happening, so I of course flew back to Nebraska for that. My sister, Abby, and I were planning on going to the windmill festival and having the best time. We were having a much needed sister weekend.

Max was a small town, country boy, living in St. Libory, NE farming away. It had rained, so he was able to have a weekend away from the farm and made his way to Comstock Windmill Festival with his friends.

It was Friday, June 10, 2022...

I needed to use the restroom, so I went to the port-a-potty. I walked out of the port-a-potty and I saw a group of guys at the end of the line of port-a-potties and saw them shaking the last stall. Being the concerned citizen that I am, I yelled at the guys and said "Hey! What do you guys think you're doing?" The guys walked over to me and said, "Hey! What's your name?" Still concerned about the port-a-potty potentially being knocked over, I responded with, "that doesn't matter!" They proceeded to ask, "Are you single?"

You can about imagine how I'm feeling at this point...

I responded with, "Well that's irrelevant!"

As they were asking me these questions, I began telling them that they shouldn't be shaking the port-a-potties and what if there was someone in there? Low and behold, the love of my life (I didn't know it at the time) came stumbling out of the stall and walked his way over.

I said, "OH MY GOSH, YOUR FRIEND WAS IN THERE?"

The guys responded with, "Yeah! This is Max and he's single!"

I said, "Good for Max!"

They wouldn't let me change the subject and proceeded to tell me Max was single multiple times after that. I finally responded with, 'Well, he is the cutest of you all!"

Max proceeded to grab my arm with a big smile on his face and said, "Let's go get a drink!"

Those of you that know Max can believe me when I say this, but I don't think he said another word the rest of the night. Just smiled and drank his beer.

....and after that, the rest is history :)
