We actually met through Facebook dating site. Neither of us really thought we were ever going to find that special someone. Our first date was breakfast at a little diner in New Haven, Indiana. He worked 3rd shift and I was in school full time and worked full time so needless to say the only time we could get together was for breakfast. When we left the restaurant neither of us seen it going much further then that. Mat's closing statement that day was "Well I guess we can be friends." We were both very busy and did not have much free time. We still talked everyday and on occasion got to see each other. But then COVID happened and both of us had more free time. And that was it we were both hooked. As we grew closer together we realized that we were ment for each other. We really was like 2 pea in a pod. What I lacked he was strong at and vice versa. He likes to do little things as a family such as fishing, walks, mushroom hunting, and painting rocks. I like to do big things such as going to Florida and Georgia. We were single and single parents for a long time and it has not been easy trying to join 2 families to one! But we have really worked hard and continue to work hard to join our families together. We have realized that we (Mat and Susan) are not just getting married we are all getting married on July 9, 2022. With that being said we have decided to have all of our children and closest friends in our wedding.
