Like many modern love stories, ours began on a dating app. Travis had recently relocated from Reno to Atlanta for work, while Hillary was searching for something real and meaningful. She reached out with a simple message: “Hey! How’s your Thursday going?”—and fortunately, it caught his attention. Travis was immediately intrigued—her baseball photo sealed the deal—and Hillary was curious about the many hairstyles featured in his profile. Due to COVID precautions, they spent about a week exchanging messages before meeting in person. When Travis invited Hillary to a brewery and dinner, she asked one important clarifying question: “Is this just friends or something more?” Once he confirmed it was a date, she happily agreed. Hillary arrived with a few nerves, wondering which version of Travis she’d meet. The answer? Mr. Long Hair—a nickname that stuck. But her nerves quickly faded thanks to Travis’s calm and kind demeanor, which made her feel instantly at ease. Their connection in person was just as strong as it had been through text. A memorable moment came early in the evening: Travis accidentally dropped his drink. What could’ve been awkward turned into the perfect icebreaker—Hillary laughed, and the mood lightened. They ended the night with Thai food (a first for Hillary), swapped stories, and even took a stroll around the parking lot, continuing to talk and laugh. That evening was easy, fun, and full of genuine connection—and it turned out to be the beginning of something truly special. (P.S. Travis maintains that his profile photos were in the correct order—newest first.)
