We met on Valentine's Day 2015 at Brickhouse Center Sports Bar in Chelmsford Massachusetts. There was a blizzard happening that night (Boston got record-breaking snowfall that winter!), so what else to do, but go to Brickhouse and drink!? We were unaware that we had some mutual friends--Colleen's close friends from high school were in a pickup basketball league with CJ. You could say it was serendipity--love at first sight, and the rest is history! We went on our first official date the following weekend at Cobblestones in downtown Lowell, and have been together ever since.
