Keith and I met on Hinge in 2020, right in the heart of the pandemic, when everything felt uncertain and the world was on pause. Our first date was at Burgatory, a casual spot that ended up being the perfect place to kick off what would become an incredible journey. From the moment we met, it felt like love at first sight. He showed up with flowers, and I somehow managed to get ranch dressing all over my face—yet, I couldn't stop smiling. Even in that slightly embarrassing moment, I knew he was the one. After dinner, we went bowling, and naturally, I won. I think that was when I started realizing how much fun I could have with him.

By the time we hit our fourth month of dating, I was already talking to Keith about what color engagement ring I wanted. It may have seemed early to some, but I felt so sure about us. We clicked in a way I hadn't experienced before. Our love only grew deeper from there. Every day, it felt like I was falling for him more and more—sometimes I even wonder how it's possible to love someone this much, but then somehow, we always find a way to keep loving each other even more.

In 2022, we took the next big step in our lives when we bought our house together. It felt like a dream come true, and soon after, we decided to grow our family by adopting our two adorable cats, Norman and Willow. They have completely captured our hearts and, honestly, have taken over our home in the best way possible. They're not just pets; they're a part of the family, and it’s been such a joy to watch them grow and add even more love and laughter to our lives.

One of the highlights of our time together has been our shared love for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Over the past four years, Keith and I have gone to 50 games together, creating so many memories along the way. From the excitement of the game to the quiet moments we share in the stands, it’s a tradition that’s become even more special to me with each passing season. I can't wait to see where this journey takes us and to celebrate 50 more years of love, baseball, and everything in between.

Keith, thank you for being my partner in every way, for the adventures we’ve shared, and for the ones yet to come. Here’s to growing, laughing, and loving with you for a lifetime.
