We met through a dating app in 2016, both of us had blank profiles. After talking for awhile we decided go on a date. Our "first" date was going to the Iowa State Fair to see Jason Derulo in concert! Mark was vacationing in Costa Rica in December 2016, when he returned we decided to officially start dating. The next big step was Benton moving in with Mark. Shortly after, we decided to adopt our dog, Blitz. We've done a lot since then and have traveled to many places together. This year we purchased a home in Waukee, IA. We are looking forward to many more years together!
