Derrick and I first met at a life group he was hosting at his home back in January of 2017. I knew from the moment I walked through his front door that there was something special about him. After many attempts to ask him out and sliding into his DMs (as the kids say), he finally said yes. Our first date was at Tavern 4 &5 in Eden Prairie on August 18, 2017. We planned to meet up for drinks and if things weren't going well we had both secretly planned to go our separate ways and watch the Vikings preseason game. To our surprise the date ended up going until bar close! Another great surprise...most of my family was sitting in a booth behind us spying on the date. We tried to outlast them and see who would stay longer but when the bartender was telling us to get out we figured we had to say hi and wrap things up. Everything after that date has been history. We have spent time traveling, studying, watching football, beer tasting, running marathons, lifting weights, but most importantly, spent time with our friends and family. Thank you to all of you that support and love us. We feel so honored and blessed to have each and everyone of you in our lives. We can not wait to enjoy this time with you as we look to our future and continuing on this crazy journey. Love, Sonia and Derrick
