We first met on Tinder in late April 2016 -- yep, thats's right, we both swiped right! We officially met in-person a few days later on an unseasonably cold Cinco de Mayo. This almost didn't happen for reasons that shall remain unspoken LOL But, let's just say, we got an early lesson in effective communication. And by the next week we were celebrating what would be the first of many birthdays together. The rest of the spring & summer were spent on Chipotle dates, meeting each other's *entire* families, and falling in love. On July 22, 2016, we made things Facebook official. And the following month, our relationship status changed to long-distance. We spent the next seven months getting to know each other from afar -- 4,504 miles to be exact. In March of 2017, we began sharing our first home together. The next two years brought more Chipotle dates, more family time, and a much deeper love. In January of 2019 we purchased our first home. And on a rainy Friday nite -- December 13, 2019, to be exact, we got engaged in that home <3
