The next three years were quite an adventure, Deja would get promoted multiple times at her job as Ernest focused on getting his PhD. Things were looking great and then the couple, along with the rest of the world, had to deal with Covid-19. Like it was for everyone, Covid was difficult for Deja and Ernest as they had to transition to work from

home life. Although it was a difficult time, Deja and Ernest persevered and adapted as new traditions were made. The couple started having daily afternoon walks around the FSU campus as they would discuss multiple topics such as stories of their childhood as well as dreams of a future together. Ernest was also promoted during this time to full time sous-chief by prepping multiple ingredients as well as clean after Deja dramatically improved in her at home cooking career. In spite of the distance that Covid caused between many people, Deja and Ernest grew ever closer during Covid time.
