We met in 2020 at St. Louis College of Pharmacy when classes started back in person after our time in online classes from COVID. Everything was very strict going back to in person classes, so we had assigned seats where we had to sit in alphabetical order. After a while of talking in class we slowly started waiting for each other after quizzes and tests to discuss our answers. Fast forward a whole year of only talking about pharmacy related things, and Brandon finally asked Michaella if she would want to go get food sometime. The day Brandon asked was also the first time we saw each other without masks. On October 8, 2021, We went on our first date. Michaella was completely unaware that this was a date since we had been friends for an entire year. Michaella realized it was a date about 75% through said date (lol). That night, Michaella got to meet our first fur baby, Thunder, and fell in love with him immediately (Who's to say Brandon didn't just get lucky Michaella wanted to see Thunder again). After that night, we were inseparable. In August of 2022, we got our second fur baby, Stormy. Brandon finally officially popped the question shortly after our third anniversary in October 2024.
