We met in April 2016. We had our first date on April 23 at 9am. Breakfast at the Bavarian Inn in Oscoda, followed by a walk in the woods by the riverside. It was simple and perfect. It was also Jon's birthday, which I didn't know until halfway through our date. 

From that day forward, we've gotten to know each other on every level, we've built an incredible relationship, and we've merged two families into one. We spoil each other, respect each other, talk about anything and everything, make each other laugh hysterically, and love one another unconditionally. We're looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together, through the ups and downs, taking care of one another, and walking through this life as one.
