We first met when we both worked at a local news station. It was a bit tricky trying to talk to each other at first because our shifts started hours before sunrise and we were both too tired to converse with anyone that early in the morning. Then two weeks after Avery started working at the station, the COVID pandemic hit. Because of COVID, we were separated on different floors of the building, so we never saw each other. It wasn't until March 2021 when we finally got together. Avery was hosting his first comedy show at The White Swan in Lititz, PA. I went to check out the show with some of my friends, but made the mistake of not reserving a table. We ended up sitting at a table in the bar area and listening to the show over the speakers. We could only hear Avery's set, but that's all that really mattered to me anyway. Avery came to say hi to us during the show and thanked us for coming. Before we left he asked me on a date. Exactly one week after, we went on our first date, and the rest is history!
