Patrick and I first met in high school at Perkiomen Valley when I was a freshman and he was a junior. We were friends throughout high school, but didn't get our chance to be more than that until I was a senior at PV and Pat was in his second year of college. We started hanging out regularly somewhat on a whim that winter of 2012, and things just took off from there! Since then, we have been partners in this thing called life, making our life decisions together and building our love and our life as one. Patrick and I went to Bloomsburg University, one of the first major decisions we made as a team, whether we realized it then or not. Pat transferred there and we lived together unofficially the first two years, and officially just the two of us the last two years. We are so thankful to have shared that fun, wonderful time of our lives together. After college, we moved home and after many years of waiting for the right time, we brought home our fur-angel baby Macie. Bringing home our beautiful red Cockapoo we feel truly made us a family, and she brings us endless joy everyday. As a family of three, we moved into our first home after college -- a comfortable and homey condo in Phoenixville, Pa. We have had the best time calling this lively, fun town our home for the past two years. We couldn't imagine a better place to make our family official than in the town of our first official home! Patrick proposed in one of the most special places in the world to me -- the 1000 Islands Canada. My dad’s side of the family has been going every year since I was a baby, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. I was so surprised and happy, it was truly a magical night and I’ll always be so thankful Pat made our engagement so special. We are so excited to celebrate our love with all of our friends and family this coming February! Thank you all for being a part of our lives no matter how big or small. <3 -Monica, Patrick, & Macie
