We are both patreons of the tech podcast, DTNS, and started talking on a slow Friday when some others asked about who all was from Minnesota. We talked once a week, then a couple of times a week, then finally daily and finally met for coffee and I gave him some Belgium chocolate from my trip to Europe with my family. We started going to movies together, then officially began dating.

Last September, we went on a cruise around Spain. The Bay of Biscay was the worst seas I had ever sailed and I was very seasick. David had me rest that afternoon and after the Dramamine went to work, I was much better. As we were getting ready that evening for dinner, he asked me to turn around. I turned around and he was down on one knee, showing me the ring. He said "If we can make it through today, we can make it through anything."
