Adam and Nicole met for the first time in the Fall of 2017 on the way to a SUNY Oswego hockey game. They didn't say a word to each other the first meeting besides hello and sat on opposite sides of the car talking to their friends.

Fast forward to February of 2018, and they met again as their mutual friends brought them together to see the movie Black Panther. After the movie, they all made plans to have group dinners once a week, and tomorrow Friday, Nicole would bring a beanless chili for dinner.

After that started a weekly ritual for the five of them to have dinner and play games. Adam and Nicole became good friends over the weeks. Then, as a group, they decided to plan a trip to Washington, D.C. for a vacation. It was a great trip and Adam and Nicole shared their feelings with one another.

After the trip, they officially started dating on May 29, 2018. And the rest is history! Well not history but here are the highlights:

-Adam and Nicole moved in together in June of 2019 and only lived alone for seven days before they got Ellie!

-They have visited Chicago, Boston, Cape Cod, Myrtle Beach, and some small towns in NY.

-They bought a house in June of 2023 in the Village of Baldwinsville.

-Adam turned Nicole into a hockey fan! She went to her first game in 2023! Go Rangers!

-Nicole convinced Adam to read Harry Potter. :)

-One of their favorite things to do is walk with Ellie at Onondaga Lake Park or any park! In fact, Adam proposed to Nicole on a walk at Green Lakes!
