Our Story
Story of Us
In 2011, we began going to the same school, Bolton High School. Over the span of our 4 years at Bolton, we had a few classes together, shared many of the same friends, but somehow never seemed to really cross paths.
Except in Spanish class- sorry for cheating off of you and getting you moved, Austin!
We graduated high school and both ended up going to Louisiana State University- both unaware that the other was attending.
On the evening of September 3rd, 2015, I ran into Austin's roommate, Zach. It was Zach's birthday and most of you know how important birthdays are in this family.. I had to make sure at minimum he had a cookie to eat on his birthday. We got Insomnia Cookies and went back to his dorm and there was Austin.
We got to talking and Austin shared with me his great skill of finding unavailable movies. Obviously, I needed his number so that I, too, could have access to these movies.
The rest was history..
