Jamie and Daniel took their time when it came to finding "the one." But in August of 2022 that would all change due to the dating app Hinge. They quickly matched with each other on the app and started talking. There was an instant connection throughout their conversation, discussing interests, life experiences as well as future aspirations. Daniel knew it was something special so was excited to meet in person but Jamie had just moved to the area and was hesitant. However, she took a leap of faith due to being fearful of missing out on something amazing. Their first date took place on August 28th, 2022. They went out for breakfast at the Blue Willow and the sparks flew! Not wanting the date to end, Daniel took Jamie out to the Eau Claire Dells for a walk amongst the trees and water. We also took our first picture together! A couple months in, Jamie was cleaning or as Daniel says "snooping and pooping." She came across a letter Daniel had written the night before their first date. It just confirmed how excited he was to meet her and that it could be the long-term love they had both been dreaming of. And as the saying goes, "The rest was history."
