We matched on Hinge in January 2023, and our first date was a week later. We went to the Olympia Farmer's Market, and enjoyed lunch together. We talked about him graduating Pacific Lutheran University soon and my recent move to Washington, and then we went to see the creepy M3gan movie in theaters. We both felt good about our first date, and the story goes on from there. :)
For those that don't know, we share the same birthday. Our first birthday we shared together, Ryan surprised me with a cabin in Forks. He had never been, but he knew it's one of my favorite places on Earth. Once you're there, it is so quiet and quaint. The drive through the trees and to hear the ocean, it's one of the best feelings. I was so thrilled to get to Forks and enjoy our cabin near a flowing creek. I had also made Ryan a homemade birthday cake, which he enjoyed. Our first birthday was absolutely amazing.
