Looking back, technically Grant and I first meet two years prior at a dog park dolly and I randomly visited. I remember seeing the cutest guy standing in a group of people chatting and play with all the other dogs. So naturally, I chunked dolly’s ball right at them on “accident” but got super nervous and didn’t say anything to anyone. I left that day mad at myself for not talking to the mystery man. 

Fast forward 2022, fresh out of a terrible relationship, and I decided to download a dating app and try my hand at finding love. After 5 minutes of looking, I stumble upon a very cute boy with an equally cute dog and thought “that’s the one” and matched with him and then waited for a message. 

PTL! He did finally message me “do you also sit around and wonder if you’re good enough for Dr Pepper, or is that just me” to which I said “well tbh I’m more of a Mr Pibb” and then radio silence! It did take Grant a whole day to response but after that it was clear that we definitely had that spark. 

Our first date Grant will tell you he stepped on my foot when he dropped me off at home after but, all I remember was just the instant connection. He planned the whole night : dinner at Aspen Creek, putt putt at Main Event (I’m sticking with I let him win 😉) and then we sat in his car and talked for a long while. 

After the first date I immediately began telling everyone I was dating the most handsome, kind and funny man but apparently Grant didn’t get there as fast as me. October rolls around (3 months after our first date) and he finally “officially” asks me to be his girlfriend to which I replied “oh I thought I already was, I’ve been telling everyone” 

And the rest is history ❤️
