Annie and Dale, Adam's sister-in-law, met each other at Nova while receiving their Master's degree together. On the first day of class, they became very good friends. As they continued to get to know each other and realized their families and interests were very similar, a friendship grew and for the past 30 years, the Millers and Lamperts became the friends that feel like family. Annie's mom, Bonnie, instilled a love for the theater in her. Any chance she can go to see a show, she's there. With Adam's connection to Broadway through his business, it started to become a frequent outing for Adam and Annie to go to the theater together when Annie was in the city visiting her cousins. After years of going to dinner and shows in the city, it was undeniable that Annie and Adam had a connection. Adam came down to Florida and the two of them went out for dinner. In typical Annie fashion she told him, "If you lived here I would make you date me!". A few months later, a relationship began and the rest is history!
