Q + A

Hi friends, Our story began in 2018 when we both went to Ohio Northern. Many years passed and we reconnected in 2022 on a date over margaritas. If you know us, you know that we are never home and use every opportunity to take an adventure. Over the past two years we have vacationed to Florida many of times and traveled around to watch the Vikings play. We spend the summer months going to our favorite concerts and St. Mary’s Lake with family and friends. The winter is filled with basketball activities, because we share a love for the game and are a tad competitive. In our free time, we enjoy taking our spoiled golden doodles, Flex and Millie, to the dog park and on golf cart rides. We can’t wait to see what the future has in store and look forward to having you all along for the ride! Love, The Bachman’s
