We first met while playing basketball at the Eisele’s house when Ashley was in 7th grade and Kyle was in 8th grade. Ashley’s parents live across the street from the Eisele's, and Kyle grew up playing travel and high school hockey with Trevor Eisele. It wasn’t until years later, when Ashley was a sophomore in high school and Kyle was a junior looking for a prom date, that our paths crossed again (Kyle was probably dreaming of Ashley's basketball skills and how athletic our children would be together). Our first date was at DiBella’s Subs in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in April 2018. We went to prom together and the rest is history.
