Our Wedding

Amy and I met in the winter of 2018 while working on the Medicine Progressive Care Unit (MPCU) at UNC Hospital. Over time we began to become close friends. By Spring of 2019 we had become best friends. We would get together nearly every week to bake, sew, or to play with her cats. It was Amy's adorable pair of cats Wednesday and Ezra that inspired me to get my first cat in May of 2019. During the remainder of 2019 our friendship grew closer. We went hiking, camping, and white water rafting. We discovered that we travel very well together and enjoy the peace that nature brings us. Spring 2020 brought COVID19 and with it came fear, isolation, and added stress. As healthcare workers we knew we were at more of a risk of contracting the deadly virus so we both had to isolate ourselves from our families as much as possible. This also meant that we saw more of each other since we were each others' only human interaction outside our stressful jobs at the hospital. By May 2020 it had become apparent to both of us that we had feelings that were much stronger and deeper than that of best friends. We decided to officially start dating; although, with our existing relationship already being so close, not much changed once we were "official." We spent the summer of 2020 together when we were not at work. Nearly every month we would spend a week at her parent's place on Lake Norman. In August of 2020 we decided to co-parent a new kitten together. That is when Barack Obama Mullaney Blew (BOMB) entered our lives. He may very well be our greatest adventure together thus far. In August we also began building custom cat wall for my apartment that we agreed would eventually join us in a house that would be purchased. Most couples would fight or argue during such a big project but not us. It was so much fun. By mid September I knew that I didn't want to spend another year or pandemic without Amy as my wife. Luckily, Amy once again felt the same way. On Saturday October, 3, 2020 Amy agreed to be my wife. And so we begin to plan our next big adventure.
