We like to think we were destined for each other since we have lots of common threads, but just like most love stories these days, it took the internet for us to meet. We met for one glass of wine which turned into three. As Andy likes to say, when we ordered the third glass, he knew we had a chance. After our second date, we said goodnight, and both realized on our drive home we weren't ready for the night to be over. So we met back up for one more drink. The world then shut down again and we were forced to drink wine at home... which really accelerated our relationship. Less than a year later, Nicole sold her house and moved in with Andy. We love living together and decided why not do it forever!

Andy has a love for travel, and Nicole has been enjoying traveling with him. We had one day home in between a trip to Colorado and Las Vegas. Nicole was thinking it could happen in Las Vegas, but Andy wanted a big surprise. Nicole was busy with school all day (getting her Neonatal Nurse Practitioner degree) and Andy was trying to nudge her along. By the time everything was finally done, it was dinner time. He did it at home the night before leaving for Las Vegas and Nicole was definitely surprised. Neither one of them slept much that night and they even had a surprise visitor early that morning. We then had a great engagement trip!
