When our daughter is old enough, she will most likely ask the question, "How did you guys meet?" Well, it's COVID-19 still in 2021, and we had matched on a dating app called Hinge, because how else could we meet anyone in a pandemic? For our first date, we did a wine tasting at Shannon's house while Austin brought over some of his favorite wine. We laughed and talked all night (with the help of good and faithful Moscato, along with some local wine). We also found out that we were very alike in the best of ways and had some similar life experiences. After that night, we were inseparable for 2 weeks straight, hanging out every night and continuing to get to know each other. From our many trips to North Carolina, Chicago, Cincinnati, and more, to our frequent date nights around Louisville finding different bourbon and steak spots, we can't imagine our lives without one another. We have grown our family from just the two of us living together to now the four of us: our mini dachshund, Tater, and our pride and joy, Iris.
