2008 - We were first introduced at my parents house because Paul, Andrew's brother, was hanging out with my older sister, Stephanie and some friends. 2009 - 2013: We went to high school together and were “friends” - when Andrew wasn’t being a smart ass. Let’s just say, he had a lot of jokes…. We knew then that there was something real between us, but we were both so involved with our sports that we didn’t really explore “being together.” 2015 (Winter): We reconnected after being away at school and not talking to each other for a couple of years. 2015 (Summer): We went on our first date at Bear Cliff and The Cragsmoor Stone Church and we enjoyed eating buffalo chicken salads from Pudgy’s in Pine Bush, NY, up on the top of the mountain - it was incredible. Throughout this summer, we rapidly fell in love with each other. 2015 (Fall) - 2019 (Spring): Despite the distractions and stressors of being away at school, our relationship grew stronger. Andrew would come home as often as he could, and when he couldn’t, I would drive up to Massachusetts and visit him. In 2018 we got a very handsome, and sassy black cat, Bo. 2019 (Spring): Andrew graduated with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and I graduated with a Masters in Education. 2019 (Summer/Fall): We were very fortunate to both start new jobs in our profession, move into our first apartment together, and bring home a beautiful, fun loving, golden retriever, Mowgli. 2020 (Summer): Andrew proposed to me on July 18th at The Cragsmoor Stone Church, with our friends and family present to celebrate with us. This was the biggest surprise I have ever had in my life. Of course, it was the easiest decision ever, after saying “No way” many times…if you know, you know.. 2020 - 2022: Wedding planning has actually been fun for both of us! Hope you enjoy :) June 17, 2022: We will start the next chapter of our lives as a married couple. We’ll have to see what memories we make on this day :)
