Love means being more than a car company…that is Subaru’s “Love Promise” slogan. They meant it to be about their cars not about the people that work in their dealerships. Matt and I seemed to misinterpret that one. Oops.

I first met Matt while working at Adventure Subaru, and the more I talked to him the cooler I though he was. We had quite a bit in common, especially our nerdiness. At the time he first started there I was still in another relationship. Eventually, later that year, that relationship ended. Matt and I were friends at this point. He would always join my best friend Rachel and I out on our “girls outings” and he became an honorary member of the “girl squad”. Since we worked together, I hadn’t considered dating him at this point, but as time went on we grew closer and on a summer trip out to Geneva on the Lake we realized we wanted to be more than friends. After hiding our relationship at work (extremely poorly may I add), we finally made it official Aug, 14th 2018. The rest is well…history. We kept growing our relationship in the coming years, bought a house, went on many adventures, and adopted two furry sons!

My favorite adventure was on Nov 10th 2021 when Matt and I went to Newport Beach, CA and he pulled out a beautiful ring on the beach at sunset and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. Pretty sure I didn’t even let him get the words “Will You Marry Me” out before I said YES!

Matt and I can’t wait to celebrate our love with everyone this September!
