Kip & Kate met the new old-fashioned way - they both swiped right! Both had moved to Boise, ID (Kate in May 2016 and Kip August 2017) and found each other on Tinder. Their first date was drinks at the Reef in Boise, ID. Following dates included Kip cooking Kate dinner, going dancing to live music, trips to Sun Valley and McCall, rafting the Boise river, and spending time with friends, family, and the dogs (Goose and Georgie). They moved in together the first week of March 2020, right before the first COVID-19 lockdown. This resulted in plenty of quality time together. In June of 2021, Kip took Kate to west Yellowstone for a birthday weekend retreat. On the following Monday, he surprised her with a proposal in their home. In January 2022, they relocated to the Bay Area. They are looking forward to celebrating and spending time with family and friends!
