We first crossed paths during the fall of 2017 at the University of Central Florida (GoKnightsChargeOn). We were assigned to the same group in class for one of the final business courses. Lexie was on the verge of graduation, while Mike had just one semester remaining.

We started working and studying together a lot, each time we met up it seemed like we realized we had more and more in common. As the semester went on, we continued to get to know each other and get closer. Mike will say that I asked him out first which is technically true BUT he sure was bringing over a lot of meals and asking me to meet up and study all the time. We did not have a first official date until later on in the semester.

Our first real date was at a social affair hosted by Lexie’s Sorority. Nervous yet determined, Lexie invited Mike to join her, envisioning it as a night to hang out and enjoy her last social event in college. Little did she know, this was the beginning of something special. We didn’t think much of it at the time but we knew a spark was developing. After the social event we opted for quieter surroundings as we delved deeper into conversation, bonding quickly over our shared passions for music, family, and beyond. The rest, as they say, is history.

From enchanting escapes to Nashville, The Grand Canyon, Chicago, and Asheville to weathering the storm of quarantine side by side, dividing time between our places during the peak of the pandemic. Then adding to our family (Lacie) and buying our first home in Maitland. We’ve had a blast exploring each other’s families and friends in Orlando, Ormond Beach, and even taking trips to Barren River, KY. All these moments together are an amazing collection of memories that make up our love story.
