Day 1: June 11, 2021 - A message was sent by Tanya to Liz on Hinge, "I love to dance in the kitchen on Sunday mornings too, but the question is, what's for breakfast?" - The conversations clicked and at the end of the first day, Tanya questioned, "To be continued...?" Liz said, "Yes" Day 15 - We shared our first video call together - we were both so nervous! But once the call started, everything flowed and talking was so easy. Lots of smiles, laughs, and talking for hours. The call ended with a question from Tanya, "To be continued...?" - with a smile, Liz said, "Yes" Day 22 - We met in person for the first time! Again - the nerves were high! But again, everything just seemed to click into place. Tanya made us Corona Sunsets to enjoy in her back yard as the sun set on the first day. The next day brought high temps, beer flights at JL Beers, and enjoying 4th of July fireworks. Day 31 - Clark was introduced to Ren and Ariel - there was slight tension, but at the end of the day, it went better than expected! When it was time for Tanya and Clark to head home, she still asked, "To be continued...?" To which Liz responded, "of course." Day 88 - We went on our first camping trip together at Itasca State Park. We enjoyed some hiking, fishing, campfires, and a sky full of bright stars. This is when we said, "I love you" to each other for the first time. Day 143 - For our first Halloween together we dressed up as Sarah and Jareth from The Labrynth (probably one of the best movies). Tanya was Sarah and Liz took the role of Jareth. This of course is also the night Liz met Tanya's parents - in full costume. It was a fun night of bowling. Day 149 - Tanya's turn to meet Liz's family came during Ericka's 29th birthday party. It was a theme party - Roaring 20's. So we all dressed in our best 20's costumes and enjoyed a night of bar hopping and drinking shenanigans. Day 389 - Our first week long camping trip together was in Tanya's favorite place - Ely, MN! Just a year after our first time meeting. We enjoyed a lot more hiking, exploring, fireworks, fishing, campfires, and beautiful starry night skies. Day 508 - For our second Halloween, we dressed up as movers and moved all of Liz's things into Tanya's place in Grand Forks! It took a while for Ren, Ariel, and Clark to get used to the change, but everything found its place and we settled in. Day 633 - It was a normal Sunday. We went to our favorite brewery, Half Brothers, for lunch. We ordered our favorite soft pretzels with cheese and pizza rolls and a round of drinks. After round 1, Tanya inquired about a new beer not listed on the menu and the Beerista brought a new menu out to us. To my surprise, my favorite beer was listed at the top of the new menu! After Tanya asked me if I read the description 3 times, I finally realized there was an extra special proposal description underneath! Tanya got down on one knee and asked if we could continue together forever, and Liz of course said, "Yes!" Now we're looking forward to Day 1,220, when we will get married! As always, to be continued...
