As many of you know Charlie & I first met in middle school. It wasn’t until after high school that we reconnected and kept in touch throughout my two years of travel nursing. Even when I was living literally across the country in Seattle, Washington Charlie found a way to pop into my messages and catch up from time to time. Once I moved back home to Boone, North Carolina in July of 2021 Charlie and I grabbed a quick beer one night and the rest is history! We instantly formed an amazing friendship which quickly turned into a relationship. I tell him often that when I moved back home I wasn’t looking for love, but yet I found a best friend who quickly turned into my forever soulmate.
