We met in 2007 at Chester College of New England. We shared a few mutual friends, but only really talked as a result of our roommates dating. Our most memorable conversations were arguments over who's room the couple would sleep in. In 2011, after having lunch with our mutual friends Jen and Laura, Mike asked how I was doing. Having found out I was single, he gave the girls specific instructions to let me know he was both a gentleman and scholar and would love to take me out for a night on the town. They did just that, and I decided to take him up on his offer. We were living in different states at the time, so met at the halfway point in Portsmouth, NH for our first date. After a meal at Popovers, and walking around Walmart (it was really cold outside) we decided to give the long distance thing a try and the rest is history!

It was Super Bowl Sunday. Jenn got her first ring, Tom got his fifth. Some might say it was the best day ever.
