In January of 2024, we both knew we were ready to find someone. One brave, cold night we met at a dating event. Gordon laid his eyes on me and knew he was not leaving without knowing me. A few days later we had our first date at Bottle Shop. What we thought was going to be an hour lasted 3 hours. From this point on we were inseparable. We introduced our dogs, Bennie and Finn. Their relationship truly tested ours. We learned to parent them together, with both of their unique personalities. We began cooking together and watching all our favorite shows, Ted Lasso, Survivor, Amazing Race, and of course The Eras Tour movie. #MajorSwifties #HewesEra We knew early on that this was it. We found our person. On December 31, 2024 we were at the Brass Eye at the Junto Hotel celebrating New Years. Sneaky Gordon was insistent on going out to the patio, but I wanted to finish my snack! Once out there he popped the question. I was stunned. OF COURSE I said yes. We now have a beautiful home, dogs that finally enjoy being around each other, and everything we ever have wanted.
