Our story began on a hot Saturday night in August in Austin, Texas. I was waiting at Gibson Street Bar alone for over an hour… Morgan said she lost track of time cleaning, which was BS — she was watching Suits in bed. Once the initial annoyance of her “parking was crazy” story wore off, sparks flew immediately. Several dates followed in the coming days, and in less than two weeks we were officially dating.

From the very beginning, we loved going to all the fun bars Austin has to offer, paddle boarding, and spending nights drinking wine on my apartment roof. After about a month, Morgan basically moved into my apartment, and only a couple of months later we rescued our dog, Jelly. A few months after that, we got our place together, where we still live today.

I love planning trips, and Morgan is always down — even when they involve attending football games. We’ve been from Oregon to Mississippi to Belize. We also love going to concerts; Morgan introduced me to “jam bands,” and while I’m not a full-on Deadhead, I’d say I’m Dead-curious. We’ve gone to several shows, from reggae to EDM — Morgan headbangs at both genres.

We love living in our neighborhood in South Austin and are excited to see what the future has in store for us.
