We met in Mrs. Rucello's first grade class at Brookhaven Elementary School. Although we weren't particularly close, we bumped into each other often over the years. Every so often, we would reconnect over social media to catch up and talk about life, and in October 2016, it finally seemed to stick that we wanted to get to know each other a little more. October 18, 2016 was our first date at Meagher's Irish Pub in Bridgeport, WV. We met over dinner and talked for the next 9 hours before going our separate ways. From that night, we were pretty inseparable and haven't gone a day without talking. Early conversations showed us that we both are committed to investing in youth, we both have faith and commitment to God, and we both have a lasting love of adventure and seeing new places. We look forward to a life together, growing in faith, serving our community, and going on adventures.
