Nick and Caroline grew up in the same neighborhood, rode the same school bus, and always seemed to be just one step apart. From Pontchartrain Elementary to Tchefuncte Middle, junior high, and high school, Nick was always moving on just as Caroline arrived. After high school, Nick left Louisiana to play baseball in college, while Caroline stayed to earn her nursing degree. When he moved back to the Northshore, she had just relocated to New Orleans for work. For years, their paths crossed without ever truly meeting, until one night at a birthday dinner for Caroline’s sister’s now-husband. This time, the timing was finally right. Nick says he knew from the moment he saw her. Six months later, he suggested a doggie playdate, not just for the dogs, but because he felt something was different. And he was right. After years of near misses, life finally brought them together and they wouldn’t have it any other way. A bonus? Juice and Zeus can’t live without each other now!
