We matched with each other on a dating app in October 2020. Josh had a broken leg at the time, so we got to know each other through text messages. Finally in December we were able to meet in person at a Mexican restaurant in Menomonee Falls. We both felt instant chemistry, and multiple dates followed before 2021. Soon we were having twice weekly dates, and Josh was even invited to watch a Packer game with Katie (a very big deal!)

We started the Friday evening at one of our favorite Chinese restaurants. After dinner, Josh suggested a walk in Port Washington, one of our favorite places to spend time. It was a beautiful summer evening, and we walked along Lake Michigan. We stopped at a favorite observation point overlooking the water, and Josh got down on one knee. Afterwards a nearby couple started cheering for us, and we continued our walk as the sun set around us.
