In late August of 2022, Josiah was interested in asking Cecily out, so he schemed a "Board Game Night" where he got to talk to Cecily for several hours to see if there was a common interest in one another. And to his surprise, she was VERY interested.

So for an entire week, they hung out nearly every day and on September 9th, 2022 Josiah asked her out. Cecily was stunned but said yes!

Their first date was dinner at Fushi Poke on Orange Street in Sarasota and a walk around Marina Jack Park where they talked for serval hours on a bench that became "their bench". (Remember that park for later)
