It was a chilly day in the mountains of Granby, Colorado. Pete had just left the islands of Turks & Caicos, deciding to take a break from island life & enjoy what was left of ski season. He planned on taking advantage of the free ski pass Snow Mountain Ranch offered in exchange for working there, hoping to relax for a few months before moving back to the Caribbean. Jamie had been working at the Ranch for nearly a year, loving Colorado & living care free. They met at the cafeteria table. While they have slightly different recollections of that first exchange, Jamie remembers asking Pete where he was from & once he replied Tennessee, telling him that she didn't like Tennessee, she's an Alabama fan.
Pete thought that Jamie was too tan & wore too much makeup. Jamie thought Pete was aloof & not interested. But apparently he was, he asked he her out for their first date a couple of weeks later.
They headed out to Boulder. Jamie thought a road trip for a first date might not be such a good idea. She has a tendency of talking too much, especially when she's nervous. All the chatter might scare him away. The drive was just underway when Jamie tried to roll her window down. The window got stuck. Pete pulled off the interstate, pulled out a tool set, and seemingly effortlessly took the panel right off the door. Right there on the side of the road. Jamie was a little freaked out, but very impressed. She has a tendency to break things. This could be the guy to fix them. Perfect combo. She also thought it was pretty hot. The rest of the date was fabulous. Pete took Jamie to a nice restaurant. Jamie didn't know what to order. Pete had his first encounter with how indecisive Jamie could be. Pete got lost on the way back home. Pete found out Jamie has no idea how to read a map. Jamie talked & talked & talked. Pete apparently liked what she had to say. They have been together ever since.
