Here's the short version of a long story. We met in 2001 at Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY. There were definitely some fireworks, but it just wasn’t in the cards. Lots of years and missed opportunities went by because the timing was NEVER right……until it was. We reconnected and were long-distance for four years. Chad moved to New Orleans in 2015. We have now known each other for 20 years and celebrated ten years together in June 2021. We're excited to celebrate this new chapter!
