We met on campus at McNeese State University, in line at the bookstore. We exchanged contact info, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. Our first official date was at Raising Canes right next to campus. Side note: Cody’s friends told him that since he likes Canes so much that if Amy said yes to a first date there, it would be a sign from the universe that we were meant to be. And, lo and behold, Amy said yes. This was also mentioned in his proposal. We spent 2 whole hours at Canes and decided that we weren’t ready to say goodbye, so we drove around Lake Charles talking for another hour. We still didn’t want to say goodbye, so Amy invited Cody to her parents house where he then met Amy’s parents and a very protective Andy. Through Covid and 2 hurricanes, we’ve been each others support system. Everything we went through made us infinitely stronger, happier, and healthier.
