Nicole and Jim met in May 2015. After several messages from Jim, Nicole agreed to meet him at the track for a walk...the same track where they both went to high school (7 years apart). 2 hours of walking on the track, they talked about a variety of subjects and were eager to make plans to see each other. The next day, Jim took Nicole for lunch and a pedicure. After the second meeting went equally as well, Nicole invited Jim to go out on the town in Athens that night. From that day, the rest of the summer in 2015 was spent together. A few years later, Nicole and Jim have enjoyed traveling, supporting each other’s endeavors, and watching as they each grow as individuals, and as a couple. In 2018, Jim and Nicole adopted 2 rescue kittens (Whiskey & Teddy) and have enjoyed being pet parents together. May 11th, 2019 Jim proposed and Nicole was over-joyed to spend the rest of her life with her best friend.
