We met through an online dating app (shocking, right?) in September 2016 and started talking. We went on our first date at Luva Bella and really hit it off. We both knew we wanted to see each other again. Given the circumstances at the time, we ended up meeting each other's family pretty much immediately...meeting each other's friends followed and on December 23, 2016 we officially began dating (Facebook official January 12, 2017) Since then we've traveled a bit, each of us went back to school, we moved in together, and quarantined together. September 2020, we decided to take a trip with Allison (Franko) and Adam Kitta to Gatlinburg to see the Smokey Mountains and try some moonshine, whiskey and wine and earn those wine trail coffee mugs. On September 18, 2020 we stopped at an overlook and were taking pictures when Jon dropped to one knee to propose. We had some onlookers cheering us on as I said "yes!" We didn't have great cell signal in Gatlinburg so it was a small secret for a day or two only telling immediate family. We then purchased our home in Pulaski, PA in November 2020. Followed by becoming an Aunt and Uncle (respectively) with the arrival of Andrew Kitta on March 19, 2021. A week or so later our family of two grew by four paws as we brought Howard into our home. We're enjoying making our house a home as well as planning for our upcoming nuptials. We're looking forward to celebrating with all of our family and friends!
