We met on Hinge. Our first date was on June 19th, 2022. This is our first picture together (but it was taken at a later date)

Cade + Ashley saw Blake Shelton at Indycar in Newton.

Bad influence: Cade had never tried alcohol before he met Ashley.

Ashley and Cade at the Pumpkin Patch. Cade had never carved a pumpkin before, so Ashley made sure that changed.

Ashley got Muffin! Cade and Muffin got off to a rough start, with Muffin biting Cade the first time they met. Muffin and Cade quickly grew to love each other. Muffin loves all the fresh lettuce Cade gives her daily.

Muffin went to work with Ashley for a few hours at an end of school PD session. Back then, she could fit in a sweatshirt pocket.

Ashley and Cade cook smashburgers for the Eimen family at their house. This photo was shortly after Cade moved in with Ashley.

Muffin loves hanging out with her humans. She also loves cardboard.

This was the day we discovered Key West Key Lime Pie. Cade makes it as well as the bakeries on this island! Key West, Florida

When you find a tshirt of an art project from elementary school, and it is the right size for Cade. He even wore it to work and in public.
