In March 2018, Matt and Allison both attended an event in Springfield, MA for new teachers in the program they were starting after college. Matt noticed Allison from across the hall and decided to say "hello." Allison remembered Matt from an event earlier in the day, where he had arrived a minute late wearing orange highlighter-colored pants. A few months later, Allison and Matt moved to Lowell, MA for a 6-week teacher training program over the Summer. They waved at each other across the dining hall on occasion, but never found themselves in the same place until one night at the local Irish-Mexican pub-cantina... Having arrived with separate groups of friends, Allison and Matt danced with everyone for a while. That is, until the numbers on the dance floor dwindled to just two. Allison and Matt were in their element that night! They shamelessly danced their hearts out, taking up the full dance floor and spinning around each other like no one was watching. The next day, Allison woke up to a text from Matt asking if she'd like to get breakfast, and so began the journey. See you all on the dance floor!
