We were both at the same place at the same time in Elk City, OK. I (Anna) was enjoying a Thursday evening with some friends and Matt was doing the same. Two things in the room caught my attention; the dart board in the corner and the dark-haired, broad-shouldered, good looking boy seated by the entrance. Uncharacteristically, I tapped him on his left shoulder and asked him to play a game of darts. He obliged and much to his dissatisfaction, lost 4 games in a row if my memory serves me correctly. Of all the dart games we've played since then, I still hold the record, don't let him tell you any different.

I suppose this is a hard one to answer. We respected the friendship we had made on that Thursday night and the first "move" wasn't made until a solid 6+ months later. However, if we had to give an answer, we agree that an interest in one another beyond friendship was growing and didn't fully bloom until our official first date. Which you'll read about momentarily.

Brighton. Until he moves out. Which won't happen until he's 40 so we're set for a while. (But seriously, pray this kid moves out some day.)

We can count, using only the fingers we have, the true dates we have had solely to ourselves. Reality is that Scout and Brighton are good company and we rarely leave them behind. However, in 2012, Matt planned a series of events in Oklahoma City. When I say planned, I mean he had a green file folder with MapQuest printouts of directions from one location to the next. This is when I realized just how different we were. There were reservations and tickets in sequential order to match his outlined plan. To this day, we are just as different, spontaneity is Anna's style while Matt prefers an itinerary. Anyhow, the date consisted of ice skating, tuxedo fitting for his brother Brad's wedding, a canal ride, a stroll along the Riverwalk, and closing out the night with a delicious dinner and drinks.

Sand volleyball hands down. However, this would require active friends which are hard to come by at our age. #pleasejoinus

Anna is indecisive and Matt doesn't have an opinion either way, this means a decision has yet to be made. One thing is for certain...we can't honeymoon during harvest. #raincheckonthehoneymoon

This answer is too easy. Filet mignon, twice baked potato, asparagus, and red wine.

Our most memorable trips are definitely the ones where we get to enjoy extended family. What a happy bonus! One that sticks out for us is our 2020 vacation to Grand Lake in Oklahoma. Nothing beats a week of relaxing in a lake house and boating everyday. The kids can tube hours and the laughter it brings is unmatched.

Most everything regarding life's staple decisions and beliefs. We wouldn't be where we are if we weren't.

Retire young. Travel often.

Meeting in Columbus in 2017 which would rekindle a dormant flame. She was coming from West Virginia and he was coming from Louisiana. Who knew it would lead to our forever together life.

Matt has engineer brain and it often presents itself as symptoms of autism. #facts
