Our mutual friend, Matt Hilton, rounded up a group of people to meet in Nashville for a fun weekend. Upon arrival, we locked eyes and knew immediately....lol lol j/k. Covid was just starting to shut down life as we knew it, so when we all arrived in Nashville we met up at a restaurant that restricted how many people could sit at each table. We were a group of 10 with a 6-person per table limit. Thomas graciously moved to another table, all alone, but not for long...and soon he was sharing his buffalo wings with Squishy. We shared every meal for the rest of the trip. After an amazing, fun, unexpected weekend, Alisha went home to Wisconsin and Thomas went home to Florida, assuming we'd never see each other again. And we all went home with Covid, which is probably the thing that bonded us closer together. Because we were both quarantined, but hundreds of miles apart, we talked every day - talking each other through it. And just wanted to keep talking. Once we were recovered, Alisha booked a trip to Florida...and Thomas booked a trip to Wisconsin...and soon we were traveling back and forth every weekend. And then in May of 2021, Alisha booked a one-way flight to Florida and never looked back. :)
