You could say our story began with a little swipe-right magic on Bumble! We were both casually searching for someone who shared our core values of family, faith, children, adventure, a strong work ethic, and the desire for a serious relationship. And, of course, we both liked each other’s photos. Jose had a cute picture of him grilling and hiking and me snorkeling and traveling the world. After exchanging numbers it took us about 2 months to go on our first virtual date. Yes, our first 3 dates were virtual because of the pandemic. Our dates looked like video calling each other through an app where you can play games like Scrabble and Pictionary all while eating to go dinner and having a drink in the comfort of your apartment. Jose showed me through video his prized Japanese Knife Set and leather coats and I showed my handbag collection and decor style. After two weeks of virtual dates, we finally met in person on a rainy Saturday, and the rest, as they say, is history!
