Their story began in early spring, March 2018.

It started in the most unexpected and, perhaps, impractical way. Two individuals who began working at a refinery, believing they had found their dream careers, little did they know they would also find the love of their lives in the very same place.

As they started spending time together at work and at company events, they grew fond of one another. They soon realized they shared many similar interests and held the same core values when it came to personal growth, family, and relationships. Cynthia saw through his tough exterior and saw the loving man underneath, smitten by his wittiness and humor. And Frank being attracted to Cynthia's soft hearted, genuineness, and kindness.

It all started with a simple conversation about food—a topic vital to all refinery operators. Though Frank was already leaving subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) hints, like leaving little hearts for her to find….and after months of courtship Frank finally mustard the courage to ask Cynthia one simple question…

“Would you like to go get some ice cream?”

The rest, as they say, is history—and the beginning of their forever.
