Dating life is difficult these days, so like a lot of couples, we met on a dating app. Our first date was all it took to know we had a strong connection. We didn’t want to stop seeing each other! Erin was living on Bainbridge at the time and I, Aaron, was living over in West Seattle. I would pick her up from the ferry several times per week and we’d go out and have a blast! I got to show her more of the city, while simultaneously discovering more for myself. We are both huge foodies so we got to experience a lot of new food that Seattle has to offer. Our musical interests are very similar, which is a huge plus. We’d often go to concerts and show each other new music or sometimes even discover new bands together. After only a month of dating, we decided to go on our first camping trip together. On night one, we camped over near Cannon Beach, Oregon. The following day, we wandered around Astoria and eventually made our way to a state park called “Cape Disappointment”, over on the Washington coast. It is a beautiful park with a nice little hike that leads up to some old military bunkers and an old lighthouse. We had such an amazing time exploring and relaxing. After that trip, I knew that Erin was someone I was going to fall in love with. Our continuous and rapidly growing relationship was always full of fun and excitement! It only took 3 months of dating to move in together. Unfortunately, we had 4 other roommates with us. That was an interesting and challenging year for us... Fast-forward a year and here we are in our own cozy, two-bedroom apartment, with just the two of us and our cats, Lucy and Sky. We couldn’t be happier. We’ve been having a blast putting our new place together and making it our own sanctuary. We can’t wait to have our friends and family here to join us in celebrating our love! With love, Aaron and Erin
