Ethan&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;met&nbsp;on&nbsp;match.com.&nbsp; I&nbsp;thought&nbsp;he&nbsp;had&nbsp;really&nbsp;nice&nbsp;eyes,&nbsp;so&nbsp;I&nbsp;"winked"&nbsp;at&nbsp;him&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;the&nbsp;ball&nbsp;rolling.&nbsp; We&nbsp;chatted&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;while&nbsp;until&nbsp;I&nbsp;slightly&nbsp;(completely)&nbsp;ghosted&nbsp;him&nbsp;because&nbsp;I&nbsp;was&nbsp;still&nbsp;hurting&nbsp;from&nbsp;how&nbsp;I&nbsp;was&nbsp;treated&nbsp;in&nbsp;a&nbsp;prior&nbsp;relationship,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;was&nbsp;not&nbsp;used&nbsp;to&nbsp;actually&nbsp;being&nbsp;treated&nbsp;right. I&nbsp;did&nbsp;end&nbsp;up&nbsp;messaging&nbsp;him&nbsp;again&nbsp;after&nbsp;my&nbsp;mom&nbsp;told&nbsp;me&nbsp;to&nbsp;"give&nbsp;him&nbsp;a&nbsp;chance."&nbsp;At&nbsp;which&nbsp;point&nbsp;she&nbsp;also&nbsp;said,"I'm&nbsp;gonna&nbsp;laugh&nbsp;if&nbsp;you&nbsp;guys&nbsp;end&nbsp;up&nbsp;being&nbsp;together.&nbsp;"&nbsp;Oh,&nbsp;how&nbsp;right&nbsp;she&nbsp;was&nbsp;:) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We&nbsp;officially&nbsp;became&nbsp;a&nbsp;couple&nbsp;on&nbsp;July&nbsp;21st&nbsp;of&nbsp;2015.&nbsp;He&nbsp;awkwardly&nbsp;asked&nbsp;me&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;his&nbsp;girlfriend&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;Buffalo&nbsp;Wild&nbsp;Wings&nbsp;parking&nbsp;lot&nbsp;in&nbsp;Monticello.&nbsp;I&nbsp;pretended&nbsp;not&nbsp;to&nbsp;understand&nbsp;what&nbsp;he&nbsp;was&nbsp;asking&nbsp;me&nbsp;in&nbsp;order&nbsp;to&nbsp;have&nbsp;him&nbsp;actually&nbsp;say,&nbsp;"Will&nbsp;you&nbsp;be&nbsp;my&nbsp;girlfriend?"&nbsp;and&nbsp;not&nbsp;just&nbsp;"you&nbsp;wanna?" Long&nbsp;story&nbsp;short&nbsp;we&nbsp;have&nbsp;been&nbsp;together&nbsp;for&nbsp;over&nbsp;9&nbsp;years&nbsp;now&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;honestly&nbsp;cannot&nbsp;believe&nbsp;that&nbsp;I&nbsp;ever&nbsp;doubted&nbsp;the&nbsp;intentions&nbsp;of&nbsp;this&nbsp;man.&nbsp;I&nbsp;am&nbsp;so&nbsp;incredibly&nbsp;thankful&nbsp;that&nbsp;everything&nbsp;worked&nbsp;out&nbsp;for&nbsp;us.&nbsp; He&nbsp;truly&nbsp;is&nbsp;my&nbsp;person♥️

The Start Of Us♥️

Our Story

I first met Katy when my mom brought this random baby home from the hospital in August of 1990. That's right, she's my sister!  Katy is currently working on her doctorate in Behavioral Health and Executive Leadership and works at the Anoka Metro Regional Treatment Center.
      She currently lives with her husband John and their two four-leggeds Dorito and Moose in Brooklyn Park, MN.

Ryan and I bonded over our mutual love of computers via a Facebook group starting in February 2018. We live on opposite ends of the country, with me in Minnesota and him in Florida. Despite this, we've talked nearly every day since and I feel like he's the brother I never had.

In October 2022, while on vacation in Orlando for "Operation Proposal" (that Kimby didn't know about until it happened in front of the Disney Castle), we were finally able to meet face to face. We spent the better part of our vacation with both Ryan and his wonderful fiancee Mercedes, and are very much looking forward to coming down to visit again!
