July 3, 2011, a day that will forever be special to both of us, the day when we started talking at a July 4th party and have never looked back. We have known each other since the sixth grade, but our paths crossed again during the summer of our freshman year of college. After only a few days, we became inseparable. We spent what was left of that summer hiking, camping, swimming, watching fireworks, playing mini-golf (with Alex), wine/beer tasting, going to concerts and driving around to different pet stores looking for a chameleon so we could name him pazooli (currently still looking).

After dating for about 2 years, we got our own little 1 bedroom apartment in Baldwinsville, NY. We lived there for 3 awesome years, going on trips all over NY and motorcycle rides down to our favorite ice cream spots. Eventually, crawling over both of our kayaks and mountain bikes on our tiny balcony to try to pack more crap into our also tiny storage closet, got old quick. So in need of more space for our ongoing adventures, we eventually bought the small 3 bedroom house we live in today. As the years have passed, so have our adventures and our hobbies. Our mini-golf and movie nights, have now turned into an evening in our backyard cooking dinner on the grill and playing with our 2 pups. Despite the years past and many changes in our lives, one thing has stayed the same through it all, our love for one another has not only persevered but it has grown immensley. We have realized that our adventures have become our adventure together and that we both would not have it any other way.
