The year 1990 was special for a few reasons. Not only did we successfully launch the Hubble Space Telescope (#science), but even more importantly, two infants were born 18 days apart in the same hospital in Washington, DC on beautiful Autumn days in November. These two newborns went on to take very different paths in life: one excelled in education, attended a top University, traveled abroad, obtained their Masters Degree, and went on to be one of the best hires our Department of Defense made. While the other child, excelled in the Microsoft Xbox game "Halo", ate egg whites and tuna cans in training to become an Officer in the USMC, and when all of that failed went into sales and some would say has made a decent go of it.

Two very different paths converged into one on September 2nd, 2021, when the older of the two (not going to say who) messaged the other on a little app named Hinge. A first date was set for September 9th, one spoke in a British accent for the duration of the date, and with a little charm, hard work, and chutzpah, managed to secure date #2, #3, #4. Soon we began losing count, and days felt empty when the other wasn't in it. We became inseparable. It didn't take long for us to realize - we've found our homes in each other. A year and a half ago we were were strangers passing in the night, and now our little quirks and kinks make our lives brighter and brighter each passing day.
