After a glitch with age and distance settings on Hinge led to an unexpected match, we met at the Barnes Foundation's First Friday event to see some art. This was just the first stop of many on a date that hopscotched around Philadelphia and ended with late night mac & cheese and listening to records. After a year dating in Philadelphia, we were long distance for almost a year while Sara served in the Peace Corps in Liberia. When Mason was accepted into the MFA program in Poetry at University of Mississippi we relocated to the Deep South for our next adventure.
