On May 9th 2018 Dave and Mel were introduced on a blind date in St. Louis Park, MN at Mill Valley Kitchen an Organic farm raised Kitchen. With a second date in Stillwater at the local brewery they had there first kiss. The third date was introducing Bradley and Lillian at a home cooked BBQ. Yes Dave Cooked! When Mel asked Dave to go on a trip to Chicago and he said yes they knew they were meant for each other after one stop at a gas station for circus peanuts sealed the deal. There is truly so much love in this family.
