Larry was a new Flight Attendant based out of Newark, NJ.

Jordie worked for Enterprise and lived in Brooklyn, NY.

Tinder brought them together - Jordie "Super Liked" Larry on Larry's birthday.

Their first photo together - Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

They made it official over tea - Jordie asked Larry.

Larry would often travel many hours just to see Jordie.

They often counted down the hours to see each other while Larry was away working.

They loved being together but Larry's job made it a little difficult.

But then fate stepped in, and on New Year's Eve, while Larry was on a work trip, he fell and broke his arm.

Jordie invited Larry to stay over while he recovered from surgery - little did they know he'd never leave.

Larry's recovery allowed him and Jordie to spend more time together doing things like pedicures,

...being a tourist,

...traveling,

...exploring magical places,

...being adventurous,

...meeting the family,

and slowly becoming closer and closer.

Eventually celebrating one year together.

Things were great, but something was missing...

...and that something was Diesel!

After a quick cleaning and grooming, Diesel was ready to em"bark" on his journey with Jordie and Larry.

Diesel quickly fit in....

...and made himself comfortable.

Enjoying long walks on the beach,

...the occasional puppuccino,

...and most importantly, his daddy, Jordie <3.

Don't worry, he loves daddy, Larry, too!

Jordie and Larry eventually moved to Jersey City, NJ,

...starting new adventures,

...enjoying new things,

...and sailing new waters.

However, the next year brought much change with excessive couch time,

...lots of looking out the window,

...at home haircuts,

...and many safety precautions.

They found joy in the little things,

...and new beginnings.

They still enjoyed traveling,

just a bit differently now.

Things slowly returned to "normal" and they were able to celebrate others,

...and each other.

Then one day, while on a trip to Woodloch Resort, Larry asked his best friend, Jordie, to marry him...

..and he said, "YES!"

After the engagement, Jordie and Larry moved to Long Branch, NJ and enjoyed life on the water.

Diesel enjoyed it also.

Unfortunately, shortly later, after a lingering headache, Jordie went to the doctor and was diagnosed with cancer. This was a tough moment in time, but Jordie, Larry, and the entire family stood tall and began the road to recovery. After a 13-hour surgery, radiation, and eight rounds of chemotherapy, Jordie was cancer free.

Although they quarantined the entire summer, once chemo finished, Jordie was determined to make it to LADY GAGA, which he did!

...as well as many other concerts (Set It Off),

...and broadway shows (Funny Girl starring Lea Michele).

They even decided to move out of Long Branch and bought their first house in Jackson, NJ - with Diesel's approval, of course.

And eventually called that house, 'Home".

After 1.5 years, they finally celebrated their (first) engagement party with lots of family and friends.

Unfortunately, Jordie's cancer came back. However, this summer was better than last due to an amazing doctor in Boston, and a new chemotherapy.

Since the chemotherapy was easier and less often, Jordie and Larry were able to do awesome things during treatment, like seeing P!NK,

...Fall Out Boy,

...Keith Urban,

...All Time Low,

...and The Price Is Right!

They were also able to celebrate their (second) engagement party with more friends and family.

Life is a long and winding road with many beautiful and scary things along the way, but they couldn't imagine doing it with anyone else.
