About Us

Chris and I have been married for 3 years. We were high school sweethearts. He was the first person to ride in my new car when I turned 16. We dated as high schoolers do - dramatically and sporadically- for a few years and then it was time for college. We decided to go to separate schools so that we would have the experience of meeting others, so he headed off to the University of Central Florida in Orlando and I packed up for Florida State University in Tallahassee. Four years of long distance dating later, there was a diamond ring on my finger and we were married the summer after we graduated at the ripe old age of 23.

Everyone thought we were crazy.

Things pretty much haven’t slowed down since we got married. We moved that summer to Connecticut, where Chris had been accepted to Yale Drama for technical theater. I went to work as a legal assistant at Allstate Insurance, and a year later moved to a position at Yale in the School of Music. A few months after this career change, I decided to pursue a masters of my own in Organizational Management of Higher Education part-time at Quinnipiac University while continuing to work full-time. Chris and I both graduated (finally!) in May. He just began a full-time position at Hudson Scenic working in the automation department building scenery for Broadway. We just bought our first house and move in a the end of June.

With so much happening at such a fast pace, it is easy to get caught up in a panic. There are lots of variables in our equation right now, and I’ve never been a math person. I was an English major for crying out loud! But even with all the activity in our lives, I hardly ever worry. Things have been so good for so long for the two of us that life seems to have taken on a “always on the sunny side” attitude. As Chris’ begins an actual career in theater, I struggle to find a career path that I am truly happy with, and we start to build a family in our new home in Connecticut I’m sure there will be days - maybe even weeks? - where we are ready to kill each other or ourselves, but for now we’ll continue to ride this wave of good fortune for as long as possible. Who knew marriage could be so exciting?!?!
