Anna and Patrick met in October 2022 and went on their first official date on Black Friday the following November. Anna had just worked a 16 hour shift, so she was a little tired, but Pat's witty humor easily won her over. Pat and Anna started dating officially on New Years Eve 2022, and did long distance (Pat in Milwaukee, and Anna in Chicago) for a year before Pat finally moved to Chicago in January of 2023. While they did enjoy their time in Milwaukee, they did not miss the long drive on 294. Pat and Anna moved together to Lincoln Park in February of 2025, and despite his pleas, Anna did not allow him to hang two TV's on the living room wall. Pat proposed to Anna on August 8th, 2025 at the South Pond in Lincoln Park, one of their favorite spots in the city. Pat is not very good at keeping secrets and Anna knew something was up when he went back into his office to "grab his wallet" before they left. Regardless, Anna was head over heels, just like their first date!
