Even though we knew each other for a few years, senior year at SUNY Albany was our time. The first unofficial date was New Years day 2018, we went bowling. We may have broken the bowling alley lane once or twice, the details may be a little blurry on who did it at this point. We officially got together on January 21st, 2018. Rachel had to move home once graduation went by so we did long distance for a few years. It wasn't the easiest but it made us stronger in the long run. In May 2021, we got engaged in Cape Cod then later that summer moved in together. July 2022, instead of planning a wedding right away we decided to our first house together. Later that year, Rachel finally wore Kenny down. That December, we went to the Albany courthouse on an extremely windy day with our random witness wearing a 'Nightmare Before Christmas' sweater, we eloped! Throughout the years we have added a few family members to our household in the form of three cats; Carly, Chubbs, and Shadow. Our little fur babies! This Fall we are excited to add Baby Parow to the family as well. We cannot wait to finally celebrate all this joy and excitement with friends and family!
