It wouldn't be a big city if there wasn't terrible traffic, made worse by construction, so just a heads up when you are arriving for the weekend!

Our Story

A few months into the pandemic was sure a stir-crazy moment for many. For us, when summer rolled around, and as Colleen was about to start her pediatric residency, we just so happened to swipe right on each other on a dating app (millennials, we know right). We really lucked out with our summer timing and had the chance to meet in person at some outdoor locations and we both felt there something special between us. Now, almost four years of memories and moments together, including one Lola, moving in together, birthdays, football games, travel, Colleen's residency, Matt's job change, a move to Houston for Colleen's fellowship, and a planned move back to Chicago in the summer of 2024, we've been able to celebrate and enjoy all of life's special and crazy moments together. We are so excited for the things life has in store and to be with you all as we celebrate the start of this next one!
