We met near Lincoln, Nebraska at a barn dance event in October of 2019 when Dillon spotted Mary from across the room and had the guts to ask if she’d like to dance. Luckily for both of us, she agreed and we haven’t stopped dancing since. Our friendship began with discovering mutual interests in dancing and volleyball the first time we met and then subsequently took off into something bigger as we started to talk more and spend time with each other. We’ve been blessed to find a natural sense of companionship, romantic spark, mutual respect/admiration, and compatibility in our goals, values and our relationships with friends and loved ones. We love being active together—rock climbing, hiking, traveling, dancing, being outside, playing games, cooking (and eating), trying new things, watching movies, spending time with friends and family, doing all the kid stuff with Mary’s fantastic 6 year old son, Reuben, praising Jesus and playing a variety of sports: volleyball, pickleball, ping pong, and basketball among others.
