We met through our mutual friends, the Jaegles. Sara was living in Connecticut and drove up to visit with Kate for halloween weekend. Her husband, Eric, invited Matt over while they were getting ready. We began talking before the night began (and before Matt donned a wig for his costume) and continued talking all night. It was an undeniable connection from the start. We "officially" began dating in December 2016. We tackled long distance over 180 miles from Stamford to Boston, and then 2000 miles from Colorado (and the three-day road trip it took to get there.) After all that for a year and a half, we've been happily home in the same zip code together and are excited for the next adventure ahead.
