Josh and I both attended Crestwood High School and had some mutual friends but wouldn't officially "meet" until many years later. Our love story starts at 10X Fitness, a gym in our hometown of Mountain Top. Josh was working there at the time I joined. I began going to the gym almost every day after work with a friend, who insisted that Josh was flirting with me any chance he got! (He will dispute this claim to this day, but the proof is in the pudding!) Josh and I developed a friendship and discovered we both love to go hiking, so we decided to go together. We followed each other on Instagram, and Josh slid in my DMs to set up our hike. I was trying not to be too excited because this wasn't a "date." Just two friends going hiking! He picked me up, like a gentleman, and we drove out to Ricketts Glen for a fun day of outdoor adventures. We chose to hike the Falls Trail and enjoyed checking out the beautiful waterfalls together. After our hike, we spent time by the lake, where we had our first kiss, and the rest is history! We've been together ever since. After about five and a half years of dating, Josh proposed to me on November 18, 2023, under the Ganoga Falls waterfall at Ricketts Glen where we had our first date. It was perfectly sweet and sentimental. (Thank you, Beth, for the pictures and for being there!) Now, we are so excited to be married and celebrate with all of our people at our wedding! Long story short: don't skip leg day!
