Our Story (and why Jones Soda is a-okay)

So in case you didn't know, Benji and I dated in high school. He was my first "real" boyfriend, and he claims I was his first "real" girlfriend.* After a true high school romance, of oh, a few months, we broke up. We remained friendly, but not romantically inclined. We graduated from high school and went our separate ways.

Fast-forward ten years to Gary Furbee's wedding to Denise: Benji escorted me to my seat, and I thought "hey, he's still cute." Sounds like he thought the same of me, and we spent the evening catching up.

Fast-forward another month: Benji visited me in Evanston. Benji (as usual) was hungry, so we went to the fine eating establishment known as "Panera" (oooooo-aaaaah). While at Panera, I hemmed and hawed and explained why we should not get into a real relationship. Benji disagreed, and proceeded to show me the inside of a Jones Soda cap which read "put faith in a personal relationship". And so I did, and the rest is history...

*my being his first girlfriend actually is not true, but for some reason, he now states it as fact
