We met on not one, but two different dating apps. The first time was in December of 2019. The second was a week into the start of Quarantine in March of 2020... Yeah. Nicholas often says "we found love in a hopeless time on a hopeless app." While the world was changing and reeling, we were finding stability and rootedness together. In the early days of our relationship, we discovered several instances in which we could have, maybe should have, met. Halla was a server at a restaurant Nicholas had dined at. We both went to the same concert at the Blind Pig, a small venue in Ann Arbor. We both frequented Beer Tuesday baseball games to cheer on the Lansing Lugnuts. Now we joke that the universe was tired of our shenanigans and finally threw us together online. We sure are glad the forces at work didn't give up until our paths not only crossed, but intertwined.
