Daniel and Ramsey met through Ramsey's brother Wilson. Dan, Wilson, and Will met through work in 2013, quickly becoming friends. In the Spring of 2015, Wilson and Daniel started a co-ed softball team that, over time, needed more female players. Ramsey and her best friend (now maid of honor, Delia) joined the team to help out. The team, now comprised mostly of siblings and a few friends, grew close enough to feel like our own little family. We met for practice, games, and would go out to eat after every game together. During this time, Daniel and Ramsey hit it off! That summer, during the Fourth of July weekend, Daniel had the idea to have the whole team up to his parent's land in Wisconsin. The gang could play yard games, go to the lake, and camp together. As the weekend progressed, Daniel and Ramsey formed a connection. They would *super casually* stay up all night by the fire talking about life, dreams, and goals. After the second night of doing this, they had fallen asleep by the fire, armrests of their lawn chairs overlapping, sharing a blanket, completely comfortable with one another. When the weekend was over, the two drove back to the cities together, officially having their first date on Thursday, July 9th, 2015.
After their first-anniversary road trip through the northern Rocky Mountains and to Seattle, Ramsey and Dan fell in love with the life they imagined for themselves there. After a few weeks of casually applying to companies out there, Dan got hired! Within the month, he was in Seattle, setting up their apartment while Ramsey finished out their lease, and packed up their life. By October, they found themselves half a country away! Despite the often rainy weather (which Ramsey adores, to this day) the move felt monumental... and it was. Since then, we've moved three times, and gone through several jobs. We currently live in Mill Creek with Delia, Austin, and the doggos: Frankie, Sadie, Nova, and Piper.
