Blake and I met through work, facilitated by a coworker, in August of 2019. It started as a friendship, casual conversation and occasional hikes with my dog Loki. When COVID- 19 really hit in March of 2020 our work world was turned upsidedown. We started working crazy hours. Going in at 1am, working 10+ hours, and working 6 days a week. We would get off work at 10am and make brunch at my apartment, this went on for months. After spending countless hours together outside work, we finally came to the consensus we were dating. Since then we’ve met the families, traveled together, moved into a townhouse and gotten engaged. What a wonderful whirlwind!
