In March of 2012 Sara was invited out to "The Farm in Elk River" to go shooting with Josh and Aaron's family to celebrate Christina's birthday. After some group shooting with some really fun firearms, Sara was "therapy" shooting away at some old "heartbreak" items down range when she heard a noise coming from behind her. Someone was laughing, was it at her? About to give them a piece of her mind, she turned around and saw Josh standing with two guys who she had never met before. Realizing that they were NOT laughing at her, she shrugged her shoulders and continued her tirade on her targets as she shyly and inwardly thought about how handsome "the short one" was. At sundown Sara packed in the firearms and headed to the house of the gracious hosts for dinner only to be surprised at the group sitting before her. Acquaintances were made, pleasantries were exchanged, and new tentative friendships were started with this curious new group. They couldn't know how much this meant to her after the previous 5 years that she endured. After dinner a bonfire was started, which naturally emitted smoke. That dang smoke chased Sara around the ring...she kept moving, and switching chairs, and trying to escape, only to have it stop once she sat next to Lon. The first thing that she remembers about this was the jokes that "The Short One" exchanged with her. After about an hour of silly joking with this guy, he announced that he was going to leave! How dare he! Sara was having so much fun and now he was leaving? She poked at him and said, "10pm??! What are you, old?!" Then, the manual BMW driving, firearm wielding, suit at the farm for a birthday bonfire wearing "short one" named Lon's attention was grabbed. He stayed for 2 more hours despite having to be up by 5a.m for work the next day. Thus a new, quirky, awkward, bond was formed.
