In the beginning...

In the beginning, there were two. The two of us met at Jenn's secondary place of work and Matt's favorite watering hole, Moose McGuire's Pub in Calgary. Although we had several casual encounters over time at the pub, we never really had a chance to talk one-on-one. Then one evening I arrived at the pub after a long day of sunshine and snowboarding in the Alberta Rockies and made my move! I may have been in the sun too long that day because my strategy backfired and I ended up offending Jenn instead of sweet talking her! For the next two weeks I was sensing some cold shoulders from the fiesty blonde server at the "Moose" and realised I had some ground to make up in order to get her talking again. Luckily my birthday came shortly after and another evening at the pub put the two of us in close proximity once again. Once again I failed in making amends for my past mistake when I asked her "Are we were still fighting?" and she replied "Heck yes!" A few nights later I sat down with her and made it clear that I didn't want to fight anymore and apologies were exchanged. In a desperate attempt at redemption, I explained to Jenn that all great relationships start out bad and end up amazing. She laughed in my face and the rest is history! We survived our first fight and we weren't even a couple yet! It was not the conventional way of courting but equally as effective. The next few months saw Jenn and I getting to know each other and spending every spare moment together. Now you know the story of how this amazing couple came to be...
