We're Married! Chris and I met in September of 2000, when he was a high school senior and I was a junior.  We attended rival high schools and shared two mutual friends.  Those friends introduced us and we quickly realized we were 'cut out for each other.' Chris moved from Fairfax, VA to Wilmington, NC to begin his first college semester at UNCW, but transferred to GMU in Fairfax only a few months later.  The next fall, I decided to attend JMU in Harrisonburg, VA.  Needless to say, we got very used to the long-distance relationship and made time for each other wherever we could.  The two-hour drive became very familiar very quickly. Six years later, we're both out of college, married, working, and living in northern Virginia near our families.  We share a condo with our loving "son" (aka: parrot), Mico, who is a handful of activity.  We're both pursuing our careers as entrepreneurs, Chris with Helm Tech Solutions and I with Soiree Special Events.  We also have day jobs which means we're just as busy as always!  We're looking forward to a long and happy life together.
