Our love story began in the digital realm of a dating app, a modern-day introduction that blossomed into something truly extraordinary. From our very first date at the dog park, where Janice's beloved Walter immediately warmed to Katy, it was evident that fate had intervened. Together, we embarked on a journey filled with cherished moments and unwavering support. Janice's steadfast presence endured Katy's lengthy deployment, leading to a decision to relocate to Virginia together. Before bidding farewell to Florida, we welcomed Waffles, a chocolate Lab, into our family. Months later, amidst the swirling winds of a September storm, Katy orchestrated a memorable proposal at a Virginia winery, with the assistance of Janice's dear friend Tina. Despite nature's tumultuous display, our love prevailed, marking the beginning of a new chapter in our shared adventure.
