Two Hearts, Three Dogs, One Adventure
Christian and Katie’s journey truly began when their paths crossed at work, first with a brief meeting at the company Christmas after-party and later on Mardi Gras Day, when Katie arrived in full festive spirit and caught Christian’s attention. With a little encouragement from their receptionist Denise, he began to take notice, and soon after, fate stepped in during an office elevator ride. Christian, wearing his Penguins hockey shirt, sparked a conversation about hockey with Katie, and from that moment on, he knew she was someone special. Since then, life together has been nothing short of an adventure. They’ve blended their furry families, Katie’s pup and Christian’s two dogs, into one happy pack of three. They’ve made Tampa their home, soaking in everything the city has to offer. Katie’s passion for sporting events and Christian’s love of concerts keep them busy, while their shared interests, especially animals, photography, and music, make their time together even richer. They balance each other in the best way, and their story is just beginning, a future filled with laughter, adventure, and plenty of dogs by their side.
