Like many millennials, we matched on Bumble less than two days after Jake moved home from his work assignment in Israel. Thankfully, Jake made the first move and decided to respond to Melanie's Opening Line of "What's your dream vacation destination?" in which he responded (seemingly very interested) with not one, but two smiley faces (and the wrong spelling of there/their, but we'll give him jet lag for that one). Five days later, we skipped our first date plan and went on a pre-date walk on the Greenway Fanno Trails with our (his at the time) dog Zoey. We proceeded to go on 2 more back to back 'pre-dates' before we had our official first dinner date. The rest is pretty much history since we've been inseparable ever since!
