We first connected playing pick-up soccer back home in Berkshire County in the summer of 2015. Nicole found it suspicious when Kyle was willing to run hills with her on days in which we couldn't find people to play soccer, and she had ideas that he might be interested in her. Those suspicions were solidified when Kyle asked Nicole to go to a New Year’s Eve party at his good friend Brian Seminara's house to kick off the year of 2016. From there, we continued to date and see each other as Nicole was finishing off her senior year in college in Connecticut. We continued long distance until eventually we were settled in our careers and moved to Newton MA, just outside of Boston. We adopted our first dog together, Zoey, and having been living happily as a little family in our Newton apartment. We are looking forward to getting married and spending the rest of our lives together.
