Katie & Nick met while working at Rhinegeist Brewery. Katie, a veteran on the team, and Nick the new kid on the block.. Rumor has it that years prior to meeting, Nick had emailed Katie to attempt to work with the brewery. Nick will say that she ignored him, but Katie can't imagine being so rude. Katie often worked from the tap room because she preferred the active and open environment. Over time, Nick would become a "regular" at Katie's work space - stopping by to talk about the latest serial killer podcasts he was listening to and often eating his lunch next to Katie while she worked. They started emailing one another with music recommendations and fun facts, and a really great friendship began to grow. Soon, the two started getting together outside of the office - "just as friends". They went on weekend bike rides (totally just friends), started going out to lunch together EVERY Monday (yep, friends), went out to nice dinners on Friday nights (nope, not dates), and even started joining Nick's closest friends for Game of Thrones viewing parties on Sundays (yep, totally still just friends). They texted each other more than they texted anyone else - ever. Nick was the first person Katie heard from in the mornings and the last she'd talk to at night. One day, a big opportunity arose, Katie was invited to a mutual friend's wedding and was given a plus one (thanks Sarah and Chris). After much anticipation, Katie asked Nick to be her date (absolutely, 100% just as friends) - and Nick said yes! Skip ahead a few hours to Nick politely offering to walk Katie to her door...where he FINALLY kissed the girl(friend) and the rest is history.  Katie and Nick love to travel, hike, explore, and experience the new! Together, Katie, Nick, Kai, Bianca, Lila, and Indiana Jones make for a happy and full house. They look forward to the adventures that life has in store for them and their family.
