We met the old fashioned way, swiping on Hinge. We spent the first few months of dating exploring DC neighborhoods via bars and restaurants. Then we watched the Nationals win the World Series followed by a season of Hallmark Christmas movies. On New Year's Day 2020, we went to a Wizards game. After that night, we felt we could watch sports and sappy movies together for a long time. While we didn't know we would be riding out the next year and a half in a global pandemic, living together in a small one-bedroom apartment and then a slightly larger one-bedroom apartment (with the addition of our sweet, sweet doggo Finn) confirmed how much we love spending time together. We decided to make it forever.
