We met nearly a decade before our first date. Megan was a seasoned pool player playing in a Rochester Local APA Pool (Billiards) League when Tim joined with an opposing team. For nearly 8 years we played against each other's teams, and a few times directly against each other, (We later realized we were attracted to each other the whole time). It wasn't until a Spring day in 2012 when Tim reached out to Megan to join his pool team that the kindling was laid for this romance to ignite. Although Megan never had any intention of joining Tim's team, she suggested drinks and a few games to discuss. It was a slow start, but by the end of that year we were all but moved in together. Since then we've created a beautiful home and a family (mostly 4-legged). We've lifted each other in personal and career accomplishments, supported each other in struggle and loss, and woven two lives together in a deeply strong and loving relationship.
