How we met wasn't very conventional at all! We had been around each other for a year when we were in the band together at Mississippi College. We never spoke once aside the occasional "thank you"s for holding the door open for the other. This changed when that summer, I slid up on Austin's story about Animal Crossing LEGOs and told him how cool I thought they were. We kept talking after that, and we eventually hung out for the first time a month later at a church volleyball night! We knew we wanted to be around each other more, so we went on our first date at Aladdin in Jackson, MS, played mini golf, and ate Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the school parking lot. After that night of endless laughter, we knew we were in it for the long haul!
