It was 2008 in Ann Arbor Michigan. Joe was entering into his sophomore year at the University of Michigan, and Gabrielle had moved to campus that very day to begin her freshman year.

Thanks to mutual acquaintances through Gabrielle’s brother, Sean, the two had a brief meeting and became fast friends.

Time in college was often spent together. These two certainly loved each other's compnany!
