After spending the majority of the COVID-19 shutdown living with best man Steve Grybko, we had begun to shop for houses in the South Deerfield area. We visited and fell in love with several houses, none that ended up working out. Just we were about to hang up our search for the winter, a perfect ranch hit the market in Whately along the river. It seemed perfect and we began to move forward pursuing it. As things came together, we invited Leah’s parents out to see the house in person, on New Year’s eve of 2020. Chris still had some tricks up his sleeve and that morning, right before they arrived to the house, he got down on one knee to propose to Leah on what is now our back porch! Since then we have turned the house into a home together, taken on countless projects as well as a new puppy. We love every second of building this life together!!
