A night that would change everything. My roommate at the time, Stephanie, casually asked if I wanted to go to a hockey game. I thought, "sure, why not? It sounds like fun!" I had no idea that this simple decision would lead me to meet my future husband.

After the game, we were invited to join the team for drinks. The atmosphere was fun, everyone was talking and laughing, and I was getting to know a few of our new friends. But there was one in particular who caught my attention. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something about him stood out.

As the night went on, I slowly made my way over and sat next to him, trying to act casual. We started talking, and the conversation flowed effortlessly. We shared stories about our pups, Daisy & Amocha, joked around, and discovered we had a lot in common. It felt like we'd known each other longer than just a few minutes.

There was a certain ease between us, a connection that was undeniable. I soon I realized that this wasn't just a random night out- I was meeting someone who would become so much more than just another person in my life. Little did I know that night was the beginning of a journey that would change everything.
