We met through online dating. Samuel Facetimed Alex once she got home from her college serving job. After staying up until 2am talking on the phone for weeks, Alex drove to the west side for a first date. We went to a putt putt coarse and bowling alley in Tacoma, and went to Tides Tavern and Moctezuma's in one day lol. The next day Alex met Samuel in Kirkland, and they spent the day walking in the park, and of course the gym. One week later, Sam drove to Tri-Cities to see Alex and make things official. In the following months, Sam found a job in Tri-Cities and packed up his life in Kirkland to be with Alex.
