On the one year anniversary of Michael moving to Florida with his cousin/groomsman Jimmy Higgins, Michael was having a small get together at his apartment.  While making preperations (stocking up on the booze) he came across the most amazing woman he'd ever met.  With luck and a little courage he invited her to join the celebration.  After that evening a quick friendship blossomed and grew into a relationship that has lasted Hurricaines, floods, heat waves,  cross-country road trips, one stubborn and very gacious English Bulldog (Morrison), Yankees vs. Red Sox rivalry, 5 moves in 2 states and countless hours spent together looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together.
