It's happening!!!

On August 7th, 2023, Conor and Sophia matched on the dating app Bumble. Sophia spelled Conor's name wrong in her opening, but thankfully he looked past it. They quickly bonded over a love of family, travel, and board games, and they had their first date at Top Deck Games on August 11th. They stayed for hours--until the store closed!--playing a board game called Glasgow, bonding over a love of chocolate and peanut butter snacks, and getting to know each other. When the game was over and it came time to clean up, they made a deal: If Sophia won the game, she'd pick her prize. If Conor won, he'd pick his prize. He won and chose their first kiss, but he was happy to give Sophia her chosen prize--a second date. They parted ways, knowing vacations and obligations would delay the second date for three weeks, but they texted daily. Before they knew it, they were meeting each other's families and making their relationship officially boyfriend/girlfriend. Sophia became a mom to Jax, and Jax even received a blessing at Sophia's church! Sophia continues to redecorate Conor's house, and Conor joined Sophia's church. And the couple isn't the only one who found love--Jax found a bro for life in JoJo, Sophia's Aunt's dog! Sophia, Conor, and Jax are so, so grateful for the many blessings that have come out of their relationship. Whether it's traveling to Washington state or Disneyland, hanging out with Sophia's family in Magnolia, or spending weekends with Conor's Mom and sister in North Jersey, they know home is wherever they are together.
