We met in August 2018 during LeakyCon at a dinner for Potterhead Running Club. Drew was in charge of hosting the dinner & Kate was attending it with her mom & friend Caitlin. Shortly afterwards we began chatting online regularly. In February 2019, perhaps emboldened by some local brew, Kate invited Drew to join in on the last legs of a beer tour she & two friends were doing in downtown Dallas. Sparks were definitely lit & in April we had our first date.

After many false starts, we finally felt safe travelling & headed straight for Disney World in April 2021. On April 23rd, early in the morning, Drew got down on one knee at Cinderella’s castle. Kate (obviously) said yes & the first few rides of the day were a bit if blur as we let family & friends know the news.
