It all started with a photo on Facebook.

That led to a Tinder date that somehow made it to dates 2, 3, 4...

There were paddle excursions.

There were road trips.

And somehow a family started to develop.

Halloween parties,

And whiskey tastings,

And a few days feeling dressy.

Until the whiskey kicked in.

There were date nights,

and evenings dancing,

when things weren't a rollercoaster.

But every mile we cruised,

and every bridge we crossed,

got us to places

we never dreamt possible.
