How we met, as told by Katie We initially met in passing at a mutual friend's birthday party in May 2015. We both went our separate ways, and didn't think much of it. Several months later, the same mutual friend mentioned that he was going to a Phish concert with his buddy Josh, and that I should tag along. I made an impulse decision to jump in the car and go with them, not knowing where I was going to stay or anyone other than our mutual friend (sorry, mom). We arrived in Cuyahoga at a hotel where a couple of Josh's hometown friends were staying, and proceeded to get ready for and go to the show. We danced the night away, roamed the hallways late night with Cheezits, and tried to find a hot tub to break in to. When the hot tub hijack efforts failed, we decided to call it a night and went back to the room where the rest of the crew was. The next day, Josh mentioned that his brother was playing a music festival a couple hours away, and I mentioned that I had helped with the music festival so we decided instead of coming back to Indy we would send our friend home in another car and make the trip to the festival. At the festival we hung out backstage, danced to Lettuce, and met up with some of the Glostik Willy guys. When we finally headed home on Sunday, we decided a decompression Bloody Mary on a patio was necessary so we went to the Pawn Shop for some sustenance and libations. I think we ended up staying there for a few hours before we parted ways. I'm not sure who initiated the next hang out, but from that weekend we spent several days a week together, which turned in to every day. After an apartment, a rental house, first time home ownership, and a puppy, we're getting married! Below is a photo from our Cuyahoga trip.
