It all started on a hot July day with a swipe. Steve had just joined Facebook dating and Jen was about to delete it. The stars aligned and fate stepped in ensuring our paths crossed. On our first date we quickly realized this was something special. We spent hours talking about our love for animals. Both wanting to care for elderly animals, Jen on a farm and Steve with an animal hospice. We learned about our travels and our love for movies. From this day forward we became inseparable. Talking for hours every day, we became each other's go-to person. We quickly discovered that life is better navigating it hand in hand.
