How We Met

We met at a University of Utah football game (anyone surprised that we met at a sporting event?). The game was miserable but we ended up sitting by each other at the game and started chatting. We discovered that we had crossed paths in Portland at our friends' wedding a few months earlier but did not remember each other. We started talking through Instagram which then lead to long phone calls and then eventually lead to us making trips back and forth from Salt Lake to Portland. We traveled back in forth for three years until we decided to see if we still liked each other while living in the same city:) Long-distance love, a pandemic, and one smitten Pomsky later, here we are!
