We may not have known it at the time, but it turns out our love was just one long chase. We met when we were teenagers and we spent a lot of time chatting over AIM, but that only lasted until Carissa, who is two years older, left for college at CMU. Two years later, Jacob sent her a Facebook message saying he would be starting college at CMU in the fall and wanted to know where he should live. Carissa told him, "Whatever you do, don't live in the towers--it's horrible"...so he decided to live in the towers. You may be thinking this was when things may have started between us, but you'd be wrong. The chase continued. After Carissa graduated from CMU, she headed to Ann Arbor for grad school. Three years later, Jacob sent her a Facebook message saying he got a job in Ann Arbor and wanted to know where he should live. Carissa told him, "Whatever you do, don't live downtown--it's ridiculously expensive"...so he decided to live downtown. Some drinks at a hole-in-the-wall bar, vegan lunch dates, and nights at a local arcade later, and the chase was over. Now, here we are, about to be married in just a few months and we can't wait!
