Our love for learning and helping others led us both to become teachers. Ben started working at TC in 2018, and Taylin followed in 2020. Our first encounter was probably masked or even in a virtual meeting. We were always just colleagues running in similar circles until we both found ourselves online dating. There is even a video of us dancing together without knowing what the universe had in store. Taylin remembers seeing Ben on a dating app, and she swiped right. Five minutes later, they matched. Taylin wanted Ben to make the first move, so she didn't message him, but to her surprise, his first move was getting her account deactivated. Ben sent a simple Facebook message apologizing for getting Taylin's account deactivated, and from there, we began talking. Soon, we had our first date on Federal Hill, and they both recall the night just not seeming long enough. Our first couple of dates were six hours long because we couldn't stop talking to each other. The conversations flowed without effort and seemed so simple. Taylin moved into Ben's apartment after only a few months, bringing Rex along for the next chapter in their lives. Our time together has been filled with enough travel to last others a lifetime. Some of these adventures include Washington DC, San Diego, Disneyland, Cape Cod, New York City, Newport, North Conway, the Grand Canyon, and many more to come. Our second date was to Muse Paintbar, where Taylin was shocked to see they were recreating Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night. To Ben's surprise, this was Taylin's favorite painting. Ben immediately knew that proposing in front of the original artwork was the perfect idea. When things are right, you can feel it in every part of your body. The universe has a funny way of working, but Ben and Taylin believe they are exactly where they need to be. Together.
