It all started on Instagram, with the occasional 🔥 and 😍 here and there, before Patrick finally struck up some small talk via messages. I eventually gave him my number, and he asked me to go bowling for our first date. Let’s just say, for a guy who could hold a conversation just fine over text and phone, he sure had nothing to say in person — I did all the talking, bowling, and even some of the eating! From that first date in June 2022 to today we haven’t been apart. Life has a way of throwing the right people into your path at just the right time. 🌊💛
