Joey and Elise have always had a love for softball and have played on numerous teams over many years. In the Fall of 2020, Joey and Elise were asked to play on a co-ed softball team in the South Hills League. Normally, Elise would turn down the opportunity but this season was different. After a softball drought because of Covid, Elise decided to say "YES" to this opportunity. While on the field, Joey played right center and Elise played right field most of the time, which allowed them to get to know each other just a little more than the rest on the team. Mid season, Joey started doing his hair a little differently and Elise was the first one to notice. She immediately commented "I love the hair" while tapping the hair on the top of his head. That was the moment that broke the ice! A simple hair compliment lead to a relationship that would last a lifetime and the rest is history.
