The story began August 2020 in Missoula, Montana. Covid had shut the world down and everyone was staying home. Restaurants had limited seating if they were even open at all. And the old faithful Buffalo Wild Wings was one of the few that stayed open the whole time. Neither Tim nor LeAnn knew that each other were considered "regulars" since they both frequented at different time of the day. Tim being the early afternoon and LeAnn being later in the evening. Then on August 7th, 2020 fate decided to bring them together. He was ending his night and she was beginning hers. There was only one seat left, right next to Tim, which LeAnn decided to take. She didn't seem to want much to do with him but remained polite until her friends got off work and ready for a weekend camping trip. It was goodbye for her but see you later for him.

A few weeks go by and they meet each other again. This time the restaurant was open to capacity and Tim wanted to say hello again. She was hesitant but joined him at a table with some friends and slowly got to know him. Their first date was ziplining up on Snowbowl and a nice dinner with some drinks afterward. This seemed to seal their fate as LeAnn decided that she would give him a chance and they started seeing each other.

Fast forward to August 2021 where LeAnn already had plans to move to Knoxville to be closer to family and Tim had a choice to make. Move to Tennessee and see where this love interest would take them or stay in Montana and let her go.

So he packed his bags. Sold the rest of his stuff that wouldn't fit in the tiny U-haul and set off to see what this next chapter of his life would look like.

Now they have 2 cats (Benji and Blossom), countless memories made during their many travels around the world and a dream to continue their life filled with exploration, excitement and a lot of love.
