Our story started in 2007 when we met in Mrs Barker's 6th grade class. We went through middle school and high school together, and graduated from Ellington High School in 2014. Although we came from a small school, we did not become friends until we returned for summer break from our freshman year of college. Having multiple mutual friends, we started to connect at summer gatherings, which lead to our first date to a scary movie which we later shared that both of us hate scary movies. We did not start dating until we both returned for our sophomore year of college in September 2015. We went through two years of a long distance relationship which consisted of weekend visits, FaceTime calls, and phone calls. Steven graduated early from Embry Riddle, and came back home to work out of New York as an airline pilot while I finished up my senior year at Eastern and then went on to start my teaching career. On March 20th, 2020, we moved into our first home in South Windsor, Connecticut. One year later, Steven proposed in our home and we later celebrated with both our families. Throughout our six years together, we have traveled to San Fransisco, San Diego, Florida, Georgia, New York City, Boston, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Italy! Traveling has been a big part of our relationship, and we have loved every adventure we have been on. We have bonded over marathons and triathlons, and we are both each others biggest supporters and cheerleaders. We have our sweet labradoodle Millie who entered our small family in May 2020. Together we enjoy running, working out, reading, binge watching Netflix series, and planning our next biggest adventure, our wedding.
