Michelle and Chris met in the Spring of 2020 as the world was discovering the joys of working from home and mastering the art of baking banana bread. Here is our first picture together, after finally getting to eat outside at a restaurant!

Chris and Michelle started officially dating the night after Chris drove her and her bff's to Nikki Scalia's birthday party via boat! Our favorite memories are in summer, and we spent that summer (and every summer since) fishing, tubing, surfing, bike riding, and roller skating!

Moved into our first apartment! We spent 3 amazing years in Bradley Beach.

The day Gillian came home with us! Michelle was volunteering at the local animal shelter as a dog walker for a few months. One rainy Sunday she convinced Chris to go with her. We got in trouble because Chris was not a trained volunteer, and when we went inside for him to sign waivers, we both noticed Gillian and had to take her for a walk. We immediately knew she was going to come home with us! Fun Fact: Gillian's first name was Ke$ha (yes, with the $ sign).

Our first of many Bruce concerts together! (actually, the first concert that week! We ended up going twice on this tour!)

We purchased our first home! Gillian has her own backyard now!

Chris surprised Michelle by recreating the date when they had their first kiss. We ate sushi on the beach and went for our usual beach walk. The walk ended with him proposing!
