It's Halloween 2011 in Vanderslice Hall at Boston College. Jess is decked out in camouflage, loosely resembling GI Jane, playing drinking games and singing to Mac Miller in Fil's dorm room. Fil is dressed as a Croatian soccer player (no surprise there). That night we took our first picture together. Over the next 7 months, living one floor apart and trying our best to convince everyone we were not dating, our relationship started to bloom. As sophomore year came to a close, we did what few new couples do - Jess went abroad to Australia for 5 months. Before boarding that flight to Brisbane, Fil invited Jess to fly out and spend the week with him in New Jersey. It was after a weekend down the shore that Fil asked, "So we're dating, right?", and thus, a lifetime of convincing her that Jersey "isn't that bad" began. As the saying goes, distance only makes the heart grow fonder. Jess came back from Australia and we picked up right where we left off. We spent the next three years in Boston together, including a year at our first apartment in Fenway for grad school, before moving to the Upper East Side of Manhattan and adding two kitties to the family.

Fil and Jess' parents share a wedding anniversary, November 1. Sorry to break from tradition! * * * * * * Jess' mom Audrey lived in Haworth, NJ for a short period of time while growing up - literally five minutes from where Fil grew up. Creepy, we know. * * * * * * Fil pretended to be a surfer from California for the first three weeks of college. Coincidence? I think not. * * * * * * Jess taught Fil how to enjoy the finer things in life. Some examples include Scotch, the joys of owning cats, Vietnamese food, Hawaii, and scary movies. Fil got her into Game of Thrones. Let's call it even. * * * * * * Our two cats are named after characters in TV shows we were watching at their time of adoption. Cecelia after binging New Girl and Bash after finishing GLOW. * * * * * * Jess is still practicing her Croatian but she knows how to order pizza, beer, and a cappuccino. The essentials!
