So as much as much as we'd like to say we met in church, we did actually meet on Tinder....yes, it does work!

After much texting back and forth due to travel, I finally told Bill that I was "parched" from waiting for that beer that he promised me and our first date was February 3, 2017.

Spring forward to the end of March when he asked me to go on our first road trip. As you know Bill is a sailor and he asked me to come with him to a regatta, the Admiral's Cup in Sarasota. We had fun telling his friends we were "off Tinder" and dating exclusively. It was also here that I realized that Bill had the same thing I did with my own friends....they are family we chose.

Since then there has been many more regattas, road trips, and meeting each other's families. We are coming upon 5 years together, in some ways it feels like we have always been together and in other ways is seems like a blink of an eye.
