Graham & Tiffany Watkins got married- and we are so lucky they did. While Caleb still insists he met a brunette cutie with straight hair, Jessica's ginger self distinctly remembers Tiffany introducing her to "the guy in charge of the after party" who also happened to have an infectious smile. Between dying cell phones and friends saying "don't do anything I wouldn't do," Jessica and Caleb spent the night talking... and haven't stopped since.
Jessica was napping and Caleb was calculating the risks involved of waking her up to ask her about a date night. After a laughter-filled evening of tapas and drinks, chilly walks and Zoo lights, & OSU football and Christmas Ales, Jessica was once again curled up on the couch but this time accompanied by Caleb and their orange cat, Chapo. After at least 5 minutes of cat scratches, Caleb laughed as Jessica FINALLY felt the ring on Chapo's collar. After being so shocked that she scared Chapo away, Jessica laughed and whole heartedly agreed to keep laughing with Caleb for the rest of their lives.
We have been lucky to find ways to celebrate in this crazy year. Some highlights have been circled around the fire pit at our new house, snuggling with our crazy puppy, Bowser, and our kitties, Meena & Chapo, and spending time with loved ones in any way we can. It's been a hard year for relationships, teaching, and health, but we feel so grateful to be coming out on the other side (thanks, vaccines!) and are SO ready to celebrate with you!
