Our first date was on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2020. Following our riveting chat on hinge (a dating app) we decided to meet for a safely distanced walk around the Eastern Prom in Portland, Maine. Katy was a no-nonsense dater, with skills to get out of a bad date in less than 30 minutes, so the decision to extend the date to grab a beer at Oxbow was nothing shy of a miracle. We talked about Cullen's graduate program of physical therapy and Katy's decision to take a job in mental health, we talked about the travel we both were missing so much, and the craziness of Covid. As the date ended we quickly texted and planned our second date for yet another outside walk and ever since the walks have continued.
