In late 2018, Kate happened to be swiping on Bumble while watching the Bears game at a friend's house and st-Bumbled upon Matt. Kate messaged first (ladies have to message first to start the conversation on the app) "I am terrible at keeping up with the messages. How about we just set a time and place to meet up?" Matt was completely on board with that idea. So we set a date for the following Saturday, December 1st at Dos Santos. We spent 7 hours talking about everything while we ventured on to several bars on 17th Street. Our second date was the following Tuesday at a coffee shop called the Amethyst. We both left there quite jittery from the extra strong coffee... or was it ;). The third date was at Kate's work party. Matt met Kate and her coworkers out and about. Shortly after Kate saw Matt walk through the door, she got so excited she missed the chair completely and ended up on the floor. It was clear that after endless conversations and the ability to laugh at themselves, there was something special between them. Fast forward four and a half years, two dogs, and a house later we are ready to commit!
