Their first encounters involve camping! They first met at Mike's birthday party at Camp Trippalindee where Adam impressed himself into Katrina's subconsciousness with his persuasion skills in buying tickets to travel to Germany. Only a few short weeks later, they met again at Mirror Lake for a camping trip hosted by Andy. Adam woke up to an 'angel' arriving at the campgrounds with Teddywedgers for all! Throughout the day, Adam charmed Katrina with his humor, kindness, and talks of travel. He even gave Katrina a bite of his winning ice cream cone after a fun game of mini golf - an action that quite honestly, probably won Katrina over, although she didn't quite realize it at the time. It wasn't until her friends asked her if she was 'digging on Adam!?' later that night that she realized...Yes, yes she was. But alas, the camping trip ended and contact info had yet to be shared. But another two weeks later, Katie celebrated her birthday and made sure to invite Adam! She and Nancy both assisted Katrina in getting opportunities to sit near and hang out with Adam that night. Finally, by the end of the night, liquid courage and a ticking countdown before Katrina left the country to live in China, she asked Adam... 'So, do you think I'm cute?' which set off a summer romance. When the pandemic brought Katrina back to Wisconsin for an undetermined amount of time (that ended up being 10 months), it allowed Adam and Katrina enough time together to realize their connection was too strong not to try dating. They officially started dating March 24, 2020! <3 Alas, Katrina had to return to China eventually and so they spent the next 18 months separated by country borders until Adam and Katrina were finally able to move to Sweden where they could be together again! They have been living happily together in Stockholm since 2022! In September 2024, Adam proposed to Katrina (spoiler alert: she said yes!) and they recently just bought an apartment together! :)
