How We Met
It was June 2011. Jamie had just graduated college and was not thrilled about it. She lamented, “how will I ever meet anyone in this giant, awful, impersonal city?” To cheer her up, her friend Rachel took her out to a local dive bar. Little did they know, that local dive bar was actually well-renowned beer bar, The Daily Pint, and Nick’s favorite spot. Working long hours at a tech start-up that he didn’t really like, Nick often visited The Daily Pint to unwind. He was doing just that when Jamie walked through the door that summer night.
The details of who approached who in this story are fiercely debated. Nevertheless, the two spent the entire evening side-by-side. Nick taught Jamie how to play shuffleboard, convinced her to karaoke Piano Man and at the end of the night, stole her hat. “Now we’ll have to meet again,” he thought. The next morning Pajama Pants and Fedora Woman woke up with the feeling that something wonderful had just begun.
Now, there’s a piece missing from this love story. Soon after dating Nick and Jamie discovered something strange- they had grown up down the street from one another! In fact, you can see Nick’s house from Jamie’s backyard! They had mutual friends, attended the same events and even played on the same hill. But as fate would have it, it wasn’t until they moved away from their hometown that the two paths finally crossed.
