Meet us in Iva!

Although Gavin hates to admit it, our story technically started with an Instagram DM (not just “mutual friends”). We were both freshmen at Lander University and didn’t even realize we’d been circling the same people. Gavin decided to strike up a conversation, and before long, he asked me to dinner. I turned him down (because who actually likes first-date dinners?), but he redeemed himself fast with tickets to the GA rodeo in Athens. Obviously, I couldn’t say no to that! We met in person for the first time in the driveway of the house we now call home, and from that weekend in Athens on, everything just clicked. There was never a dull moment, never an awkward pause—it just felt meant to be. From then on, weekends together became our normal, and the rest is history.
