In 2019, after Patrick came home from 9 years active duty in the Air Force, he was stationed at the 106th Rescue Wing at Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach, NY. We met on the well-known dating app Bumble and after one month of talking but canceling dates on one another, we finally met for dinner after our friends and family convinced us it was now or never. After our first date, the rest was history. Our beautiful daughter Elsie Renée was born December 8, 2020. Our story is far from traditional, but it's ours and we wouldn't trade it for anything.
