Shout out to Hinge! After a few days of messaging, we decided to meet up for coffee at This is a Bookstore. We spent hours talking until the place was about to close for the night. It felt easy and right. That coffee date turned into many more dates, and we've been inseparable ever since.
Around the time of our dating anniversary, we went on an East Coast road trip. The first stop was Boston, then we headed up the coast all of the way to Acadia National Park in Maine. Our first hike in the park lead us to the summit of Gorham Mountain, looking over the ocean. That is where Brad popped the question. It was perfect.
