Holly and I met during COVID - weird times. We met naturally, like the old fashioned days. Back in July of 2020, Holly found herself at a new job and continued to lay eyes on me. It was all over from there. The following March, Holly and I officially began our journey on a work trip to DC. After 2 years of dating, I finally made the decision to have Holly move in with me. After 2 years of living together, I decided that this could work for the long haul. So, I set off to go find the perfect diamond. Shout out our other (4) coworkers who also found their diamonds at the same jeweler. In November 2024, I took the next step and got on a (half) knee - it was raining - in the middle of Regent’s Park in London, UK. She said yes!

It was July 24th, 2020, 5:45am. I waited outside to be let in on my first day at HITT, a Tesla comes pulling in a few minutes later, but doesn’t let me in to the parking garage. The driver of the Tesla was Joe. He was probably nervous having seen the prettiest girl he had ever laid eyes on. Our desks were positioned right next to each other and we became quick friends - bonding over Spotify’s New Music Fridays and working Saturday together. I knew Joe had a crush on me when he showed me his dating profile that described me to a T. We started spending time together outside of the office. Joe convinced me that he liked puzzles, but really it was his sneaky way of coming over to hang out. Flash forward to March 2021, Joe asked me to officially be his girlfriend as we drove from DC to New York after a work trip. You could say the rest is history and I can’t wait to start our next chapter!
