Alex and I first met when we were working together at Vasa Fitness as personal trainers. We never really worked together directly as our schedules were pretty opposite, but we saw each other almost daily and also would hang out at get-togethers (what we would call Trainer Nights). In May of 2023, we ended up moving in together as roommates. Though we were acquaintances from work, we started to become friends after we moved in and spent quite a bit of time together. I remember first realizing that I liked Alex as more than a friend after we attended our mutual friend's wedding in July of that same year. About a month later, Alex asked me out right before I left on my first work trip. You can imagine the suspense of spending two weeks apart after putting that out there! Our first date was on Saturday, September 16th, and, needless to say, we think it went pretty well (so much so that our second date was the next day!). Though at times it was difficult to navigate living together while also dating, we wouldn't have changed a thing about our journey. We are so excited to share the beginning of the next step in our relationship with all of our family and closest friends!
