We met on the dating app Bumble, and after chatting for awhile agreed that the Saturday after Thanksgiving would be a great day to have a first date. Plans to have dinner and drinks at Northbound Pub in Minneapolis turned into just drinks and several hours of talking. After the football season was over, we began dating more seriously and found that no matter what we did, we enjoyed it together.
While 2020 was a year none of us will ever forget, we will always remember this year for some positive events too. That fall, Kylie was in her first year of teaching and Andrew had been trying to find the best moment to propose. On a gorgeous Friday, Andrew insisted going for a walk at Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield, MN after work. Halfway across a bridge in the middle of the park he got down on one knee and proposed. It was difficult to finish the walk without wanting to stop everyone else in the park and share our excitement.
