With an honorable mention to modern technology, our paths were able to cross at SUNY Cortland in central NY. Since Talia lived in Westchester and Ryan in Utica, we decided to keep it casual. As you may have already deduced, we did not keep things "casual" and decided to test our connection with four hours of distance. Through long distance and living together in Syracuse, Brooklyn, and now Riverdale, that connection has grown to an 8 year relationship of adventure, happiness and overwhelming love.
