We first met at Turning Point Summer of 2016, where Joe was our waiter. I was out to breakfast with my mom discussing how my first year of college went when she pointed out our handsome waiter. Even back then she had a feeling Joe was the one! At the end of breakfast the check came with Joe's phone number on it. My mom kept the receipt in hopes that I would reach out, but I gave her a simple answer and left it into god's hands; "If it's meant to be, I will see him again". Fast forward to Summer of 2018, our eyes locked and numbers were finally exchanged at Bar Anticipation (I know what you are all thinking, never fall in love at the Jersey Shore). I got a text "This is Joe G" minutes after numbers were exchanged and our first date was planned! A few days later we hit the beach on a gorgeous day and got coffee (If you know Joe this was a test to see if I liked his two favorite things- the beach and coffee). Our second date was a sushi dinner (if you know Joe this was another test to see if I liked his third favorite thing- sushi). Well I passed the tests and the rest is history!
