Maisie and Cole in High School. We met in May of 2019 at Maisie's Junior Prom. We were later re-introduced through mutual friends at the beginning of our senior year.

Maisie's first Panther's game! Maisie spent most of her time looking for Sir Purr and nervously watching the people around her to know when to cheer.

March 2020 and the arrival of COVID-19. 2 week quarantine tuned into over a month of social distancing. We had to get creative with activities that didn't involve within 6 feet of each other and were outside.

We celebrated High School Graduation when it was safer to do so :-)

Maisie's High School Graduation from Hickory High.

Our freshman year of college was online, but it meant we got an extra year before long-distance!

Cue lots of long-distance visits from NC to DC!

Chicago Road trip with Maisie's College Roommates in 2022. This trip was when we learned our roles for vacations. Maisie plans meticulously beforehand, Cole navigates once there.

BIG DAY! Maisie dreamt of a Costco membership for years. Celebrated with a Costco Hot Dog afterward.
