We were both finishing our last year of grad school in Ohio when Brett sent the first message on a dating app. The smooth-talker he is, his opener was "What's your favorite pizza topping?" It somehow worked and we haven't stopped talking since. Our first date consisted of viewing an exhibit on the history of sneakers at the Toledo Art museum, followed by a fancy-pants Italian dinner. Once we graduated from our professional programs, Brett moved back to Michigan and I stayed in Ohio. Eventually we realized driving 5 hours to see each other wasn't very practical, so this Buckeye made the move up to the Mitten. A dog, a house, and a ring later, the rest is history!
