We met at my friend Brian DeLongchamp’s house in Ishpeming, Michigan. With Cody being there and locking his keys in his running car making for lots of good jokes for the remainder of the night.

Chris and I met at a bonfire in the UP. I was dragged along to a “bonfire party” by Erin. When we showed up it was an old guy (sorry Brian), Cody and some tall handsome guy. This night ended up being one of my biggest blessings in life. My favorite memory from the night was Cody/Chris locking their keys in the running car to showcase their manly problem solving skills. Chris had me hooked when he used the best pickup line imaginable “Do you want to see a video of me being tased?”

My favorite memory with Sarah is either going to the Shedd aquarium in Chicago or going to the MacKenzie center in Poynette WI, just to see her excitement about the Animals.

My favorite memory with Chris is going to Chris’s first major league sports game in Chicago to see the Blackhawk’s get beat by the Wild. This memory is followed closely by days spent at home with the cats.
