Shealyn + Jon

Enjoying the Samuel Adams Brewery in Boston

Our whole story starts with a visit to my cousin Aidan in Boston.  Adam and I had decided to do a mini vacation to check out the city and visit Aidan while he was studying at Harvard.  Adam, knowing that Jon used to live in Boston then invited him to tag along. I was unaware that Jon was actually going to come with us until one night at a baseball game, Jon leaned across about 5 people to tell me how he was excited for our trip.

The three of us met up at a local pub to start planning our trip in the fall of 2009 and Jon and I were dating by Halloween.  Yes, Halloween, it was an odd day to pick as a first date, but it is just how it worked out (playfully known as “Halloweeniversary” ever since).

I think we both knew pretty early in the relationship that this was something special. If pressed, we most likely wouldn’t be able to tell you when exactly we came to the realization that we were meant to be together, but it was certainly early on.

In our two+ years together, we have had some wonderful adventures and memories.  Plenty of camping, road trips to Maine, a trip to Boston and amazing trip to China.  This is just the beginning of our many travels together! But we know that the best journey, for the both of us, will start with our wedding in July!
