We met freshman year of college, mostly because JanieLynn was trying to get gossip out of Everett under the guise of helping a friend (classic). We flickered in and out of each other's path for the next three years. One alleged love note to Vienna, a drive in the snow, and late night snacks at a house JL was going to rent (is it trespassing if you're going to rent it eventually?) later, Everett took a mountain guide job at the same backpacking outfitter JL worked at on a whim. You know the rest!
Everett graduated with his masters in Science from Lipscomb University in December. He is now working for Power of Clean Energy (PCE) as the sustainability coordinator. PCE retrofits lighting fixtures to emit lower energy costs in Nashville (check them out!). JanieLynn is in school at the University of Tennessee Knoxville in Nashville getting her masters in Social Work with an emphasis in Organizational Leadership. She'll (hopefully) graduate in May 2020 and pursue a career in advocacy, public policy, or legislation.
