February 2008: First contact. We spoke on the phone. It lasted 15 seconds and all was forgotten. May 2010: We met in person at Clark University graduation, then again at a birthday party. June 2010: A first date was had. Many dates ensued. June 2011: We embark upon our first great adventure - moving across the pond. September 2011-September 2012: We spend one year living the dream as a marine biologist-in-training and video games tester, respectively. September 2012: We take D.C. by storm, or maybe it takes us hostage because... March 2017: We are still in D.C. This makes trips to the Outer Banks, NC possible for a weekend. A prime location for a proposal you might say. Together we have lived in five apartments, run four half marathons, adopted one giant dog, and visited five continents. It's only the beginning!
