2001-2002: Amanda and I were room mates in Dakin Hall for our freshman and sophomore years. We had a lot of fun and made some really great friends!

2005: I finished my first year of teaching, moved to Biddeford and lived with Megan for a year. I started teaching at Marshwood Middle School - 8th grade math. Apparently I traveled a lot that year: back and forth to Quincy to see Mike, Quebec City, Sugarloaf (skiing for the first time) and NYC/Jersey with Amanda B. It was also the year that my Oldsmobile died and I bought my first car.
