Ocean: We met like many 21st century couples do -- online. Three weeks after our first texts, I made the grand journey to Providence, Rhode Island. Through two trains, over three states, in a couple of Ubers, and up the largest hill known to man, I met Sean. Being the movie buff he is, we had our first date at the local cinema. Over the next few years -- making time to see each other with our busy school schedules (not so much for Sean) -- we took the train up and down the east coast, letting the romance gather in the air of all the seasons as we surrendered ourselves to the adventure of our lives, and our hearts. Fast forward to today: we live together in a cozy townhouse in Portland, Maine with our daughter (cat) Poppy Amelia Toomey -- planning our wedding and our future life together Sean: We met in an epic sea battle -- we were the only survivors.
