Whenever people ask about how we met, I love to say that Matt just "showed up at my door one day," because that is - quite literally - what happened.

Matt and I could have met on countless occasions. We both attended Saratoga Springs High School, and although he was a year older than me, we never seemed to cross paths. After high school, we both headed to SUNY Oswego to obtain our undergraduate degrees. However, our paths didn't intersect until he came back to visit our alma mater, when I was a senior and he had already graduated.

I had known of Matt's existence because he has been friends with my best friend, Katie, for many years. Katie and I lived together our senior year at Oswego. When she told me that Matt was coming back to visit for the weekend, and that he was staying with us, I didn't really think anything of it. Little did I know that I would be meeting my future husband!

So he shows up, literally, at my front door one day. We all went out and had a blast. Matt and I became fast friends, then each other's crush, and when I moved home after graduation...a couple. Nearly three years later, we are now living together, planning our wedding, and enjoying our happily ever after in Saratoga Springs. I feel so lucky - I couldn't imagine planning a future with anyone else!
