In late 2016 Casey had begun pursuing a career as a Registered Nurse, by taking per-requisite courses at the local community college and applying for nursing schools at local universities. After moving back home to save up for school she had reconnected with high school friends who were also going to school in the Seattle area. Wanna come to a party at this guys house tonight? (more on that later) Nicholas on the other hand, had returned home from Boise State and had started to work at a local sandwich spot while regrouping his ideas on what he wanted to do for a long term career. Living in his parents house in Kirkland, was where he had recently found himself "abandoned" (his words) after his mother (Erika) and Step-Dad (Guy) had moved to their new home in Woodinville. With such an opportunity of having a house all to himself Nich decided to invite his co-workers from the sandwich shop over for a party. His co-workers just so happened to be Casey's high school friends, and thus she was invited to Nichs party. Casey and her best friend Sam (yep, the maid of honor) showed up to that house in Kirkland, Casey with a bottle of prosecco in hand. They found the door open, and proceeded to the back deck where Casey found herself greeted by Nich. Nich introduced himself and then popped her bottle of bubbles and made his mark on her heart, and the rest they say, is history. 2023 We now find ourselves together for 6 going on 7 years, with two successful careers; Casey a Registered Nurse specializing in Oncology, and Nich a Software Engineer. We own our own home, and are "pawrents" to a sweet kitty named River.
