In late September of 2020 Kaylyn and Griffin met for a pandemic coffee date in Brighton. He knew he was off a to a hot start when he grabbed a plastic straw and Kaylyn told him her career in sustainable energy. They wandered around Brighton and shared stories. Griffin wanted to show Kaylyn a cute park. With confidence and confusion he took the double long route to get there. Kaylyn's patience was on display! Connections were made over camping, running, world views, and the most recent Conde Naste drama.

One of our favorite memories has been marching in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Bachas have been participating for many years and have been kind to let Griffin hop in. Happy Hippo, Bad Bunny, Kung Fu Panda, and a soon to be announced balloon this year! We will tell you what to look for.

Kaylyn and Griffin starred in their own version of house hunters as they tried to find a home to purchase in the Boston area. Good news - they did it! They found a cute little cottage style home full of quirks and charm to make their own.

Two become three when Allston joined the family. Allston, a German Shorthaired Pointer, joined Griffin and Kaylyn to bring more adventure into the family. His breed is loyal, active, and smart. For the last several months Kaylyn and Griffin have been working on their skills as dog trainers with the goal of having the perfect running buddy in Allston.
