We met on a dating site after both being widowed. Our first date was brunch and our second date was bowling. The rest of the summer we visited Milwaukee County parks visiting traveling beer gardens. Every Thursday Russ would pick Carrie up from work and they'd check out a new park with a beer in hand. In the fall and winter we spent time meeting each other's family. After knowing each other for over a year we got engaged February 8th, 2020. Now we are planning a wedding but more importantly, we are planning a future together.
