On 4.12.2018, Taryn went in for an interview at PepsiCo and Eric was the lobby officer. After she aced her interview, Eric strongly encouraged her boss to hire her because "She was cute". For two years, after getting hired Eric would greet Taryn in the mornings and afternoons but she did not give Eric the slightest bit of attention. To be honest, Taryn didn't even know Eric existed. Eric escalated trying to get Taryn's attention, by skyping her and sharing his phone number multiple times. After Taryn ghosted Eric a couple of times via Skype chat and loosing Eric's phone number, Taryn got the courage to ask Eric out on a date on Valentine's 2020. They enjoyed their first date going to Top Golf & Dairy Queen on a Friday night. Sunday morning Eric shared with some good family friends thinking Taryn was the one only to receive a text moments afterwards from Taryn telling him she was not feeling it. Then, the second date happened.... then Taryn said nope ... then the Third date happened.... then Taryn said nope ... Then the fourth date happened... then Taryn told Eric she wanted to give this relationship a try. From there on, we have had quite the ride learning about each other, learning how to coparent Jace, building a family together, and now we are moving up in sharing the same last name!
