Once upon a time, a Florida surfer boy named Cody decided to move from the sea to the air and learn to fly an airplane. Little did he know, a beautiful water-polo-playing mermaid from California named Katie also had similar dreams. Summer of 2019, while Cody a seasoned instructor and Katie a new student; their relationship as friends took an unexpected turn. One night at their favorite local watering hole, Hot Leggz, Katie became "hot for teacher" kissing Cody in the parking lot. They knew they had found a match in each other, over their love for the water, adventure and of course aviation. They played it coy as they both tried to stay focused on their airline dreams. Distance became a factor when Katie trained in Daytona and Cody left for his first airline job training in Indiana, but the two spoke every day. “Distance makes the heart grow fonder” proved to be true, and upon returning to South Florida, they moved in together. The couple’s career ambitions took a pause in 2020 when the pandemic shut the world down. Cody was nearly furloughed and Katie was unable to instruct. Nervous and directionless, the two got a taste of what marriage life would be like, both locked down at home in tight quarters. Although their patience was tested, their bond grew. Cody worked toward assimilating Katie into the “Florida lifestyle” and they spent days on the water diving, surfing and, of course, a few libations on the boat. It was clear the two shared a strong passion for being in and around the ocean. As the pandemic passed and the world began to open, the two’s dreams began to soar. Katie began flying again and Cody was eventually hired by a legacy airline. Now, both airline pilots, Katie and Cody live their dream life, jet setting around the world, looking forward to taking off to their biggest adventure yet, getting married!
