We worked together for three years. It took Michelle moving for us to realize we were better together. For a whole year, we drove back and forth from Ashburnham to West Hartford, and vice versa, to fit in quality time. We went skiing, ate tacos, taught Cushing Academy Summer School, watched at least four seasons of the Great British Bake-Off, celebrated birthdays and holidays, convinced Michelle's cat, Zellie, that she needed a father figure, combined our book collections, and established new traditions. In June 2018, Brad followed Michelle to Connecticut. In December, he proposed. The rest is history!
