All it took was a swipe right on New Year’s Eve 2020. Living 100 miles apart, we spent our weeknights on FaceTime and our weekends in AirBnB’s exploring nearby cities. Countless hours in the car driving back and forth, rugby games, camping, and a few life changes filled the next year and a half leading up to our engagement. We were engaged on February 11, 2022 in Mariah’s Davenport, IA apartment, and moved into our current home in Fox River Grove, IL the following July.
