Anna and Andy met while students at Riverside University High School, in Milwaukee. Living in the same neighborhood, and having similar friends, they saw each other often. Andy's senior year - prom in fact! - they shared their first kiss. The couple dated the summer before Andy left for college at the University of Minnesota.

Though they were young and stupid, they had enough sense to know that 17 year olds can't handle a long distance relationship, so they broke up - but stayed friends.

The next year, Anna moved to Chicago to attend DePaul University. Anna and Andy would see each other occasionally while visiting family and friends in Milwaukee over holidays. They even visited each other at school. But, they still lived 400 miles away from each other, and knew a long distance relationship wouldn't work.

After graduating, Andy remained in Minneapolis, and Anna in Chicago. In the spring of 2012, Anna was visiting Minneapolis with friends, and asked Andy to get together. She ended up extending her trip an extra day, so that they could spend more time together. After that weekend, Andy planned a trip to visit Chicago.

After a couple more visits, the couple decided to see if maybe, just maybe, this crazy long distance thing they'd been avoiding for years just might work.

Turns out, it wasn't so bad.

Anna and Andy traveled back and forth from Minneapolis to Chicago for a year, before Anna found a job in Minneapolis and moved up. Four months later, Andy bought the house they now share.

And three years later, here we are.
