We met on Tinder...because it was time. Everyone knows Gary is a Wildland Firefighter so his whereabouts can change daily during fire season. On one night in June we both happen to be scrolling Tinder, and within the 25 mile radius we set, as he was on a fire in Simi Valley. We would later learn that we both hesitated on liking each others profile because one wanted something long term and the other didn't. We began texting and eventually talking on the phone and set our first date. During our first date it was discovered that Gary would often stay at a hotel directly across the street from Kellie's work while assigned duty in Ventura. He would walk by her office almost daily and frequent the same restaurants and stores as Kellie. Its possibly we even walked right by each other many times..but we were married...and faithful to our then spouses. By the time we finally met, thanks to Tinder, we were both newly single so...it was time.
