Jamie Baker & Joseph DeLaughder

Our Story

We met at the lane ave shops where we both worked. Joe worked at the optical store and I worked at the new salon that opened up across the hall. We were acquaintances for about 6 months. Joe says that I was not friendly and I never said hi or smiled. Until he spilled his large cherry coke all over the mall, because he was checking me out, which I didn't realize I just thought he was clumsy. When I found out the real reason later I was very interested. Later that day he asked me on a date, and I nervously agreed.
Our first date was at my coworkers Kimberly's house for a night of cards. We met at a bar for drinks before hand, and after. It was a fun date, I was nervous the whole night. If Joe was I couldn't tell.
If it wasn't for Lane Ave, cherry coke, and cards, all this would have never happened. We thank the heavens that it did.
