Matt and Erin became friends during their Junior year in High School. After getting to know each other during class and on their band trip, Matt decided to ask her to the Junior Prom. Shortly after, they started dating. After a few long years of a long-distance relationship through college they moved in together in Ames, IA for Erin to start Veterinarian School. There they live with their two starchy kittens Tater and Gnocchi.
