Our story begins with our dogs, Madison and Jake. Our paths first crossed during a dog walk one morning in April 2019. Madison was in a full sprint to greet Caitie and Jake proceeded to jump all over Ken in his work clothes. It was a brief but lively meeting. A few weeks passed before a dog walk brought us together again, this time on Caitie’s birthday, which led to our first long walk together. A few walks later, Ken finally asked Caitie for her phone number, but in typical fashion he didn't have his phone with him. Fortunately for him, Caitie had hers and she didn't make him wait too long before reaching out. Later that week, Madison and Jake had their first playdate, which was followed by subsequent dog dates and walks together. It wasn't long before Ken decided to pull out the big guns and cooked dinner for Caitie. The menu highlights included charred salmon and an assortment of burnt vegetables, but it didn't matter. We laughed and enjoyed the time together. We knew we had found something special. The next year included meeting family and friends, vacations, lots of dog walks, and Caitie introducing Ken to Netflix and pretending to enjoy watching golf. Regardless of the activity, we were always laughing and bringing out the best in each other. When Covid-19 hit, it just confirmed what we both already knew. After months of quarantine, we were still finding laughter and enjoying time spent together.. a lot of time.. all the time. And when Ken proposed it wasn’t exactly a surprise because he is terrible at keeping secrets, but that certainly didn’t diminish the excitement that we share for this next chapter in our story as we continue to learn, grow, and laugh through life together. We look forward to celebrating with you all on October 9, 2021 as we begin this next adventure!
