Our story starts very 21st century of us, meeting on a dating app. It went from mindless swiping to “hey this guy has a cool dog” and “hey she looks fun”. After figuring out we weren’t serial killers or catfishing one another, we had drinks together where Nicole couldn’t even find the correct entrance for the bar. To her defense it was a weird layout. Kevin was agreeable to hang out with Nicole and her friends afterwards in Encinitas and the rest is history from there. We became friends with one another friends, families became one another’s families, and through time Nicole became an official dog mom to Louie before getting Chauncey. We try to find the humor in things by referencing Spongebob way too often and go on adventures from snowboarding trips, beach days, sporting events, and concerts. Kevin’s been able to convert Nicole to a Chargers fan (she would say a Justin Herbert fan) and up her movie game (mainly so Kevin can play video games). Nicole’s got Kevin owning more Oregon Duck than Ohio State gear and becoming “Country Kev”. While on a camping trip to Yosemite, after hiking up to the top of Vernal Falls Kevin popped the question. As you all can imagine, it took Nicole about a second to answer. So here’s to our story as it’s just another chapter in our book that started back in 2014!
