It all started in the fall of 2018 in Washington, D.C., when a simple swipe on Hinge led to a first date at Pearl Dive Oyster Bar. What was meant to be a casual dinner quickly turned into hours of conversation, laughter, and the first spark of something special. A year later, in 2019, we packed up and moved west to Denver, Colorado, where we spent four years exploring the mountains, hiking, skiing, and soaking in every adventure the Rockies had to offer. Our love for travel and the outdoors only grew, and so did our love for each other. In the spring of 2020, our little family grew when we brought home Brodie, an extra-toasted golden retriever with an endless love for adventure. Whether hiking rugged trails, chasing waves at the lake, or simply tagging along on road trips, Brodie has been by our side through it all—always ready for the next big journey. In 2023, we traded the Rockies for the Blue Ridge, moving to Charlotte, North Carolina. There, we found the perfect balance between city life and Appalachian getaways, making new memories and new friends along the way. Then, in 2024, another adventure called—this time, to the New England coast. We moved to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, excited for ocean breezes, coastal hikes, and fresh seafood (a full-circle moment from our very first date). Along the way, we’ve traveled the world, explored countless states, and built friendships across the country. Through every move, every adventure, and every new chapter, one thing has remained constant: we’re happiest wherever we’re together. And now, we can’t wait to celebrate the next step of our journey with all of you!
