A Journey That Started with Journey

No, that is not a typo. Fate would have it that our paths would become forever entangled on the dance floor of the Aragon Ballroom.

The same dance floor where James' grandfather met his grandmother over 70 years prior. For them it was ballroom dancing, for us it was ♫ Don't stop believin', hold on to that feelin'. ♫

And we've been holdin' on ever since.
