It all started with a “Hello 👋” in August of 2022. Andie and Alex had connected in the most 21 century way via Tinder. Our first date was at the Great Dane, a Madison classic, where Alex sandbagged a game of pool so that Andie could win. After a few late night bike rides, it didn’t take long for us to realize we had a lot in common. Andie’s dog Dude, who is generally timid with strangers, gave the seal of approval when going for a hike one day. The early adventures continued for the two of us and our two dogs to Whisker Creek and Black River Falls where we hammock camped and made fires in a primitive wilderness.
Our first full summer together climaxed at the top of a mountain in Banff National Park, just one of the many destinations on our two week road trip. While Alex drove, Andie was the master photographer and would navigate through and research the many towns we passed.
The rest of our summers are full of outdoor activities: biking the trails of Madison, hiking the Ice Age Trail, disc golfing, gardening, and camping. During the winters, Alex and Andie are gym buddies, keeping each other accountable for their fitness goals.
We are excited for our future together filled with adventures in the outdoors. Come help us celebrate and/or come explore with us!
