Like most modern love stories.... it all started with a dating app.... ours was Hinge.
Although we first matched on Hinge in January 2021 and had an amazing first data via video call (thanks COVID) we didn't actually start dating until August 6th, 2021. Josh very graciously understood that Adri had to put her studies first and always had a feeling she would reach back out when medical school "calmed down" enough to date. Spoiler alert: He was right.
But let's be real. Adri fell for Josh way before their first date in August. She knew the moment she saw his organizational skills.
And Josh knew Adri was the one way back in January, when she not only didn't run away but actually knew what all these scribbles meant on his whiteboard.
It was a match made in nerd heaven!
Since then, Josh and Adri have been inseparable. Here is a look at some of the highlights.
