We met in 2016…
Our first date was at the Sunset Grill in Pewaukee, WI. The conversation started with the usuals such as where are you from, what you do for work, and what you do for fun. Right away, Jamie mentioned she grew up on a farm in Lancaster, WI and Sean followed that with the question, “So do you have a big family?” That question was met with a little sarcasm that all farm families are big (she has one sibling… not 10 🤦). Insert facepalm moment for Sean “What kind of question was that, dummy?!” They both laughed it off and for some reason, the conversation weaved into the history of Henry VIII for 20 minutes. After she blabbed on about a guy who’s been dead for nearly 500 years, she told herself “Okay Jamie, you’re going to lose this guy’s attention if you keep at it. Time to change it up.” They moved onto the subject of movies, which they both love, and Sean asked Jamie what movies she had recently seen. With surprise, she mentioned Deadpool. At that moment, Sean knew Jamie was a little different because Deadpool wasn’t exactly the typical rom-com choice he expected. Fast-forward four hours later, they both agreed to a second date.
