Whenever we are asked the question "How did you meet?!"- Erik's token response is "We found love in a hopeless place"- Online during the Covid Pandemic. When Kathleen and Erik "swiped right"- after some message exchanges, they quickly realized they did not live in the same area code, they wished each other luck and went on their own way. A few months went by and Erik reached out to Kathleen, they began texting every day, which quickly became daily FaceTime dates. Eventually we came to the conclusion that we should probably meet one another in person. We finally met in December 2020, and haven't spent a weekend apart since. In October 2021, we decided to move in together after the commute felt too long and our weekends together never felt long enough. 2 years after we met, we are engaged!
