Our Story

Our Story

It turns out, sometimes you have to leave your hometown to find the person who was there all along. We both grew up in Gulfport, Mississippi, just miles apart. Though we knew of each other, we attended different schools, and our paths never quite crossed. It wasn't until the summer before our freshman year at LSU that we finally met at Biology Boot Camp (BIOS) in Baton Rouge. Football Saturdays quickly became a favorite tradition, filled with tailgates, afternoons in Death Valley, and plenty of reasons to celebrate. As microbiology majors, we spent the next four years walking to class together, studying for exams, and spending countless hours in the lab. Somewhere between football games, date parties, and late-night study sessions, we made some of our favorite memories and built a relationship that would take us far beyond Baton Rouge. After graduating from LSU in 2023, our next chapters took us to two different cities. Abby began medical school in Jackson, while Alexander headed to New Orleans for dental school. After four years of seeing each other nearly every day, we traded walks to class for trips up and down I-55. From college sweethearts to a lifetime of memories in the making, here's a look back at some of our favorite moments as we get ready for everything still to come!
