We met in the midst of the chaos that is the psychiatric hospital. Although we knew of each other for a while, we really didn't know each other. Codes and super interesting patients brought us together at first. After many hints went over both of our heads (mostly Dylan's) we finally went on our first date on August 24, 2022. Many dates later, many hours spent learning that weekends for us were going to look like cozy days at home watching football and reading books. Sunday mornings turned into one of my favorite rhythms of church together. Challenging each other (mostly me) to try new things and to experience life together. Time flew by and next thing you know our one year anniversary was here where we had the most amazing dinner at a fancy steakhouse that was way more extravagant than our normal life. Life together had already been so good. Then November 3 came along and I thought we were just casually going on a little walk and having our weekly check-in, boy was I wrong. He walked me to this beautiful little area that happened to be named "Iris Gardens" where he had pictures and candles lined up of us. That's where I said yes to my best friend! Falling in love with each other has been the greatest gift.
