Modern day fairy tale - the apps (obviously). Anastasia and Curtis met after two lucky "matches". First, Anastasia matched at Veteran Affairs Healthcare System in Bedford, MA for her pre-doctoral internship which prompted her to move to Massachusetts. Second, a Hinge match. Curtis swiped right first despite Anastasia having a photo wearing a Yankees hat. Anastasia liked that Curtis had a picture with a dog in his profile (thank you Logan Skinner)! The first date was at The Foundry on Elm in Somerville, where Anastasia was living at the time, on a rainy Friday night. Curtis got there first and watched Anastasia walk right past the restaurant (probably wasn't wearing her glasses). After a few laughs about that, it was instant chemistry. We felt like we knew each other our whole lives, only after a few hours. The rest is history.

Ollie saw a tall man enter his home and barked for approximately 5 minutes. Ollie's hesitancy didn't last long. Curtis brought him a toy and let him kiss him. Ollie quickly gave his blessing. Now, Ollie is Curtis's shadow.
