"This is the first day of my life, I'm glad I didn't die before I met you" – Bright Eyes, First Day Of My Life Maddie and Jamie met in High School in 2004. They quickly became friends after the first day of their art class. They often would sneak notes with terrible spelling errors and drawings into each other’s lockers between classes. Jamie would take alternate routes during track (and class) to visit Maddie during free periods and after school activities. They went on their first date at the Thru-Way Diner where they shared an appetizing combination of pasta and a chocolate milkshake. They soon started dating after that. "In Boston Massachusetts she'll be there and we'll be together everywhere” – The Byrds, Boston Maddie first moved to Boston for her first year of college. For one semester, they traveled between NY and MA to visit each other, but Jamie soon moved up for school as well and they both got apartments one block away from each other. They upgraded date nights from the Thru-Way Diner to Uno's Pizzeria. During Maddie's last year in college, they decided to move in together for the first time in Somerville, MA! Soon after graduation, Maddie was offered a job in NY. They both agreed that it would be a good career move and didn't expect to be far apart for long. "I traveled a long way and it took a long time to find you, but I finally found you" – Alabama Shakes, I Found You For almost five years Maddie and Jamie were long distance. Timing for moving together took longer than expected. They both committed a lot of travel time between train, bus and car to make sure they saw each other often. They both vowed never to be long distance again.
