My first impression of Lynsey was: she seemed too good to be true. Beautiful, tall, smart, blonde and a compassionate elementary school teacher with a deep passion for Israel and Judaism? And to top it off, she was single?! I knew I had hit the proverbial “Jackpot” even before our first date – I just had to make this one count.

Our first date took place on March 6th, 2020 at a coffee shop in Norman called Gray Owl. I was in Oklahoma for the weekend visiting my good friend Trent, but my mind was focused on what was going to take place on Sunday afternoon. I was nervous, but I somehow mustered up enough wit and/or charm to get myself a second date, and then a third. Soon enough, we were visiting each other every other weekend and over extended breaks from school. We spent hours texting throughout the days, and in the evenings, I performed my favorite piano songs for her on Skype / FaceTime.

Over the years, Lynsey has continued to demonstrate her selflessness and her commitment to our relationship. In Fall of 2019, she moved across the country to join me in Dallas. Though 2020 hasn’t resembled a “normal” year, there’s no-one I would have rather spent quarantine with! Who knew Marvel-movie marathons and our dangerous roller-blading adventures could be so fun? 😉 I finally took this girl to Vail, got down on one knee, and proposed – and now the rest is history.

Life since the engagement has gone back to being crazy, but I always look forward to spending my evenings with this ice-cream-obsessed, peanut-butter-loving, Packer fan from Wisconsin. Can’t wait to spend my life with this cheesehead!
