Corey & I met when I was attending SUNY Oneonta as a freshman, and he was visiting a mutual friend. Corey had just graduated from Ithaca College. I saw him across the room at a house party/show and had to say hi, but was super nervous so I hatched a plan and finally got enough liquid courage in me to “accidentally” spill beer on his shoes for the chance to talk to him. My friends were ready to leave by that point so I didn’t get his full name or number, and thought it would end there. Luckily, he felt a spark too because he asked his other friends about me and found me on facebook. He continued visiting and we were long distance until we moved in together in Brooklyn, then we moved back upstate about 7 years ago and got engaged in 2019. We live a happy life here in New Hartford with our dog child, Fiona!
