Back in 2023, Josh was living in Asheville and Krista was living in Washington, DC. Krista had planned a solo trip to Asheville to explore and see if she would want to move there. Upon doing so, she turned her dating apps on to scope out the dating scene in the area. Meanwhile, Josh also had his dating apps on. The two matched within a few days and began chatting about their shared love for Dave Grohl. Krista had actually planned a date with someone else a couple of days before she was about to leave, but it was more of a formality. When this date ended up falling through, she turned to Josh just to have a casual meet-up. The two immediately hit it off. Conversation felt easy, lots of laughter, and shared beliefs. There was an obvious spark. After the date, the two made a bold decision—Josh was going to visit Krista in DC to see if there was really something there. Well, needless to say, the spark they shared in Asheville turned into a flame. They began traveling back and forth to see each other monthly and their love only grew stronger with each passing mile.
