Their Love Story Began, online, where Rob and Brie each took the chance with online dating. After three weeks of chatting, they exchanged phone numbers. One long weekend, when Brie didn't receive a reply from Rob in days, she sadly thought Rob had moved on so her "trigger finger" blocked him! Rob, eager to find her and take her out, re-created his online profile and RE-MATCHED with Brie. Tempted by a good time, and charmed by Rob's attempt for redemption, Brie decided to let him take her.

They met at a local restaurant in Lombard, Illinois, for some of their favorites - pizza and live music where they played the "ABC game" that really got the conversation going. At the end of their first date, Rob asked if they could meet the next night at the dog park, so their kids could meet. . . The rest was history.

Three months into their relationship, Rob asked Brie to move to Texas with him due to a job transfer. Surprisingly, with Brie so close to her family and friends, she agreed to follow with this adventure because she knew in her heart that Rob was truly the man she had been waiting for!

- After countless difficult decisions, the final decision was made -

Rob and Brie both quit their jobs, pointed on a map, blindly chose a rural area in Michigan and bought a house WITHOUT even looking at it in the country of Lawton, Michigan. Talk about following your dreams!!!

The run-away love birds, now with their sweet Baby-Lu, Live in their "Happy Place in the Woods," with their three dogs, eleven goats and two chickens where they spend their days gardening, admiring their space, and re-building fences because the goats are always trying to escape!
