How We Met

We met online in early March of 2017. We had matched by coincidence (as you all know one lived in Buffalo and the other in Rochester) on a dating app and he sent the first message that Friday night. We messaged all night and into Saturday. Come to find out he was coming out to Rochester for a friends birthday in Brockport, just a 15 minute drive from Churchville. We agreed to a bowling date that Sunday. After a night out in Brockport he was "not feeling his best" but stuck to the plan to meet at Brockport bowl. We both told each other we weren't great at bowling. In the end, Patrick was losing and says "The only way I'm winning this is if I bowl strikes in the last frame" and that's exactly what he did. He bowled a turkey in the final frame and won.
We started dating and did long distance for 3 years. Traveling nearly 20,000 miles, give or take a few hundred. 2020 we decided to move in together and I moved to Buffalo, 2021 we bought a house, we got a dog named Diggs the first month in our new home and the rest is history.
