When I moved to Massachusetts to start a new career, Mike was one of the first people I met. He is from this area, and I am from Virginia. We did meet through work, and we became friends immediately. He spent time showing me around New England on the weekends: the perfect tour guide for a girl whose never been north of NYC. We got to enjoy each other’s company and realized that we share similar values, as well as our Catholic faith. We have been dating for four years this August and we truly love each other. We hope to start a wonderful future together.
