We had our first date at The Atomic Cowboy and The Handlebar in The Grove in St. Louis, MO. Chip had just completed a sprint triathlon that day, and had been talking about how much he wanted Oreos and pizza leading up to the event. Laura brought him homemade chocolate covered Oreos as a congratulatory gift, and Chip claims that he knew then that she was someone special. We had a very eventful first date--Laura mercilessly beat Chip in pool, we had our first kiss, and we met a very interesting man named Kieran, which led us to our first inside joke about the Cult of Kieran. Needless to say, it was an amazing first date, full of laughter and conversation. We are so excited to continue talking, laughing, and growing together for the rest of our lives. Note from Chip: pretty sure I'm ahead in overall games of pool now!
