Our first date was hiking at Brown County State Park. Google maps directed us to the wrong entrance, so we walked into a Boy Scouts camp. After finding the actual park, we hiked around Ogle Lake, where we saw turtles and an otter. We stayed to watch the sunset before heading back to Bloomington. We drove 30 minutes towards Columbus before realizing we had turned the wrong direction. Once we finally made it back to Bloomington, we stopped at Bangkok Thai Cuisine. That was my first of many times having Thai food, as it's a Richards' family favorite.

Our first big vacation was to Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan, Alabama to attend my cousin Emily and Andy's wedding. We spent lots of time in the water swimming with jellyfish. We also saw some stingray and dolphin. My favorite vacation has been our trip to New Orleans. There was so much good food and music. We went to lots of occult shops and visited an open air art gallery. One of Matt’s favorite things was the National WWII Museum. Our most recent vacation was to go hiking in West Virginia. Most of the trails we hiked were in New River Gorge National Park. We also hiked at Hawks Nest State Park, Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park and the Sandstone Falls Overlook.
We have a 9 year old pit bull named Zeus and a 5 year old tortoiseshell cat named Clover.
We got engaged at Yellowwood State Forest April 6th, 2024. I waited to find the perfect spot with a view of the Lake. Yellowwood is one of the most quiet and peaceful places we have visited together.
