It all began with a swipe and a hopeful message on Hinge. Jared's charming smile and humorous bio caught Katlynn's eye, while Jared was immediately drawn to Katlynn's sense of humor and pretty blue eyes. Our first conversation was effortless, and a surprising amount of shared interests. From our love for the outdoors to appreciation for good food, it was clear we had stumbled upon something special. After a month of getting to know each other, Jared booked a trip to Phoenix where we decided to meet in person. Jared planned the entire first date, where we ate at a local Italian restaurant, drove around the city to take in the sights, and grabbed a drink at a local bar. Our first date ended and Jared texted Katlynn later that night to ask to go out again the following night, and the rest is history.
