How We Met

02/04/2018

Set the Scene: February 2018, Michael's watching his all time favorite team play in the super bowl... I'm sitting in the library avoiding studying for my upcoming nursing exam. What a better way to ease both of our anxieties then swiping through tinder?! Michael and I matched with each other and immediately started chatting about all of our favorite things, mostly dogs. The following weekend Michael asked me if I would go out with him. And depending on who you ask to tell the story, he was MANY hours late to pick me up. However, he had spent all day moving before our date... When I opened the door to his sweet smile the only thing that left my mouth was "These are our dogs" while shoving my roommates two pups out the front door to greet him. We went to buffalo wild wings *not the original plan but it was so late at this point our original place was closed* and shared a couple drinks. We spent the evening talking about 4 paws, Maggie (Michael's beloved childhood dog), work, life and a little about ourselves. But seriously, mostly about dogs. We were officially dating a week later and as people say, the rest is history.

For all the days along the way
