Luna is a two year old rescue tortoiseshell cat that Savannah adopted on June 16th, 2022 from the Sarasota county humane society. She loves her springy toys and chasing the pictures on the tv. She also loves eating things that are not food, which several vets have assured her mom is not due to any health conditions and is purely preference. She wakes up every day at 4:45am to scream for her daily Catit gogurt tube.
Some people say that online dating doesn't work, but Savannah and Brad have proved that wrong. They met on the dating site Hinge, where our their first messages were about York Beach, ME as they both had pictures on their profiles from Long Sands Beach. After learning more about each other, they had their first date in Manhattan for brunch and a visit to a crystal museum. From there, the relationship completely took off into what it is today. They got engaged at the Norwalk Aquarium on March 26th, 2024, and can’t wait to sail forward into their future. They have a 2 year old cat named Luna who is their little girl and light of their lives. They also have a jungle of plants on their patio garden that they’re parents to as well. They are so excited for their special day and to be able to look out and see all their most loved ones celebrating with them.
On March 26th, 2023, Brad brought Savannah from Manhattan to the Norwalk Maritime Aquarium, where they had just become members. It was a very important day because the aquarium was celebrating the first birthday of their youngest seal pup Sono. After visiting all the exhibits (and letting Savannah visit all of the touch tanks and petting areas) Brad brought Savannah to the seal exhibit where they were about to sing happy birthday to Sono. In front of the tank, Brad got on one knee and pulled a golden Snitch from Harry Potter out of his pocket, which opened to reveal the most beautiful engagement ring imaginable for Savannah, and a promise of forever.
