It all started in the most modern of ways— two right swipes. Nate was visiting his mom for Mother’s Day here in the PNW, but told Christi he would be back in “60 to 90 days” and would love to take her out for dinner then. He got her number and sent a LinkedIn connection request and flew back to FL. Fast forward 73 days when Christi was starting to make plans to just be the “cool aunt” forever, when a text message popped up on her phone. “It’s *that guy*!” she thought, and instantly texted her sister Sarah about the development (but of course waited until after business hours to text Nate back). They penciled in a first date on the calendar for three weeks later due to travel schedules (remember traveling?), but then worked in a first date about a week and a half early as they were eager to meet. They had happy hour at Radio Room, Nate dropped Christi off at the airport, and they’ve been together ever since.💛
