It all started with a swipe right. After multiple attempts at trying to figure out what day and time worked best (Tessa's schedule was difficult, but in her defense she was working three jobs), we met up at a local coffee shop. The four hours of our first date were filled with Tessa talking about The Office, antique shops in Boise and literally any other random topic that seemed to pop into her head. Peter patiently sat, sipping his hot coffee, and chiming in whenever he got the chance. Tessa couldn't stop thinking about how Peter had the kindest eyes she'd ever seen, Peter thought Tessa had a nice butt and the rest is history. Two and a half years filled with the most unforgettable trips and adventures, two long deployments, learning all of the amusing differences between East Coast and West Coast childhoods / expressions / traditions, becoming parents to a handsome four-legged pup, and enjoying each and every minute together, we truly can’t wait for this exciting new chapter to begin!
