at a pizza parlor after making our initial connection through a dating website. We both came to the quick realization that we had experienced something special in our first meeting. We connected on many levels, including our interests in faith and history. We even realized that we had missed each other by only a couple months in figure skating lessons as children! Our care and love for each other grew with each meeting thereafter, and our love continues to bloom as we embark on the next chapter of our lives together.
