Justin and Janice were born roughly twenty miles apart in Michigan, but took twenty-three years to finally cross paths in Boston. For their first date, Justin asked Janice to meet him for coffee at the 1369 Coffee House before going dancing at ManRay. She was a half hour late and he almost gave up on her, but thankfully he waited. That night, and on many after, they stayed up late, dancing, talking and laughing. They discovered shared passions for gaming, music, science, technology and travel, along with a similar sarcastic sense of humor.

Years later and on the other coast, their life isn't so different now (except Seattle has better coffee). They still play lots of games and love to go dancing, but they've also supported each other through major life events like grad school, house buying, job changes and puppy training. Both have grown as a result of their relationship - Janice turned Justin into an asparagus-eating dog lover while Justin taught her to like math and build electronics - and continue to challenge one another. Every day is a new adventure they enjoy together.
