Frequently Asked Questions

What the hell does your blog title mean?
We wanted our title to reflect us as a couple, so we were trying to think of something funny that happened to us or something we say all the time. (We have a lot of weird things like that.) Anyways, one time we were in Dunkin Donuts and Lauren abruptly said "and hash browns" at the end of the order after we just discussed exactly what we were getting. "And...hash browns."

How long have you been dating?
We started dating on September 16, 2012.. with a month of pre-dating activity beforehand. Chris asked the official question in front of a lady's buttcrack at the Big E in Springfield.

How did you meet?
We were always friendly in high school and had a lot of mutual friends. The summer of 2012 we ended up hanging out a bit with one of our best mutual friends. We started texting randomly afterwards about awful movies and the friend planted the seed in our brains about dating. The rest is history.

Wait, so you went to high school together and then starting dating during Lauren's senior year of college? Weird.
No, it's not weird.

Do you live together?
Yes, we just moved in together in August 2013. We live in a one bedroom apartment in Connecticut, about 20 minutes away from the town we grew up in. We haven't killed each other yet, so that's a good sign..

What do you guys normally do together?
We have a shopping problem. If you know anything about Connecticut, you know it's incredibly boring and offers little to no entertainment. We normally fill in the boredom with shopping and going out to eat. We spend too much money. Since we moved in together, we've been a little better about shopping and going out to eat. Now that we share an apartment, we don't necessarily need to go out together all the time in order to spend time with each other. We like to stay in and watch movies or TV. By the way, never get AT&T Uverse. Chris likes to play with Legos while I work on my Rainbow Loom... so we're essentially still children. We also like to take trips whenever we can (mostly to places in New England because with work, we can only take weekend vacations).

Where have you been together?
So far - Boston, Lake George, Hampton Beach, all around Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York City, and Massachusetts.
