My first memories with Chloe started as playful banter about what legislative chamber is better (which we still argue, we just both switched sides). From the first super bowl party, I knew Chloe was special. Over the past seven years, I have been fortunate to learn and grow with Chloe. All of the aspects of a partner I have ever wanted, I have found in Chloe. She is my co-pilot, un-official doctor, art instructor, teammate, and partner.

As my co-pilot, Chloe and I have traveled across the world. We have driven thousands of miles, traveled to eight countries, visited more than twelve states, and explored five national parks. When it comes to traveling, we are in sync and are able to travel

As my un-official doctor, Chloe has learned how to manage my type one diabetes alongside me. If I need help changing my CGM, checking my blood sugar, or even getting me a shot of insulin when my blood sugar just won’t come down, Chloe is always there for me.

As my art instructor, Chloe has helped me explore new mediums to create art. Through sketches, printmaking, and film photography, I have been able to find fun and unique ways to express my creativity.

As my teammate, Chloe has played countless games of Qwixx, 42, Wingspan, Carcassonne, Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Overwatch! While we lived across the state for each other, video games helped us feel as though we were on the couch next to each other. Whether we are with family or at home alone, we love any excuse to break out a physical board game. I wouldn’t want anyone else on my team more than Chloe, I know she will do anything to win (even if I am on the other team).

As my partner, Chloe has been by my side through each high and low over the past seven years. I couldn’t ask for a better partner. I am truly blessed to have had Chloe in my life since 2017 to help me learn and grow.

We look forward to having you join us for our next step in our relationship together! See you in Italy!
