The way LeighAnn and Brandon met wasn’t abnormal, they met like your common day teen or early twenties normally do, in college. They started at Tidewater Community College for their newly hired apprenticeship for Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and soon met. LeighAnn sat next to Brandon because she thought he was cute, especially with his tattoos. As the weeks went by LeighAnn and Brandon started to get to know each other, getting snacks, doing homework together, and studying together. When the time came LeighAnn asked for Brandon’s number and he refused to give it to her. LeighAnn didn’t understand, but that didn’t stop her. LeighAnn just stole his phone and texted herself from it. From there they started texting and Brandon invited LeighAnn to church, they both began the get very active in church between serving and being a part of a community group. After church one Sunday Brandon took LeighAnn to Ghent, in Norfolk to a cute coffee shop because he knew LeighAnn had always wanted a coffee with a creamer leaf in it. (Silly I know but it’s the little things am I right?) A week or so later Brandon wrote a note to LeighAnn asking her to check yes or no to be his girlfriend. (Again can you tell LeighAnn loves cheesy things?) Obviously she checked yes, or you wouldn’t be reading this. After that their relationship went into full bloom, they were always together when not at work. About a year later they adopted their sweet, high energy pup Luna from the Portsmouth Humane Society, after moving into their first apartment. After living in the apartment for six months or so they decided it was time to look for a home (and a yard for Luna). They found their dream starter house within a couple months and closed on their house a little more than a year ago. For now they’re busy making their house a home and making memories to keep for a lifetime!
