Our Story

"The dating app designed to be deleted"

Our love story began like many others during the infamous pandemic... with a right swipe ( I think that's how you match on hinge, who remembers anymore lol). With Ryan working nights and Erin working crazy hours and weekends it took two whole months before we had our first date on a Thursday in mid September. Luckily Erin's cousins (shout out Justin and Mia) encouraged her/ pushed her not to bail on their first date as Erin was miserably hungover from celebrating the day before (if you know you know). Erin disappointed Ryan right off the bat by not bringing Roscoe as he was only a couple months old and did not have all of his shots yet. Luckily the first date went well and there was a second one (a whole month later) and Erin made up for it by bringing Roscoe along. Fast forward a couple months and a few deeper conversations later and Erin tried breaking things off with Ryan as he did not want to settle down within the next 7-10 years... (how's that going for you babe? hahah) All it took was one drunk text and Ryan showing up in an Elf onesie and the rest is history. Well until sweet Drauger boy came along right before Christmas 2020. Both Ryan and Erin agreed should the boys not get along then we would part ways. I'll let the photos show how that went... now the rest is history.

Roscoe and Drauger the first night they met. The deciding factor if this relationship was going to work.
