the story of us

One time I was on tour. I went to set up our merch next to the other bands. There wasn't much room but I tried to squeeze our stuff next to theirs but immediately got dirty looks from the dude next to me. So I moved. What a jerk!

Fast forward to the summer of 07 in Columbus outside a show. I was talking to some friends and a guy that looked familiar walked up and said you should come to the show tomorrow too. My friends were like yea do it! Of course I couldn't because of work but we all sat around and talked for a little bit.

I went to This Is Hardcore that August. Awesome fest, had a lot of fun but there was this guy I kept seeing that I swore I knew. Later a friend introduced us and we sat and talked for a long time. Then I realize, it was the jerk that got mad at me for setting up our merch next to him! He denied it was him (it was) and we hung out and talked off and on all weekend. I never got his number but I asked the friend that introduced us for it and started texting him right away...I couldn't wait. We talked everyday, even while he was on tour in Europe (sorry for running up your bill!).

I had been living in Cincinnati that whole time. In October I started to make my move to Boston. We had planned on me stopping in Philly on the way and then he would come with me to Boston since his band was going to record in Salem anyway. We ended up going back and forth between going to shows and moving and him recording for 2 straight weeks. For our first time actually hanging out one on one, we were together for 2 whole weeks! Usually after one day I start getting irritated with someone so I knew right away how amazing this guy was.

We did the long distance thing for about a year and half. My second apartment I moved in with some of his friends and he started staying over all the time and even moved in some clothes..yay! October 09 we finally found our place in Salem.

I love our little life we have. I couldn't have asked for a better guy in my life.

and now the next chapter of our life
