Norma, a nerdy shy girl from North Carolina, first met John, an obnoxiously funny academic from Minnesota, at one of the UW-Madison freshman events. Initially interested in a guy who did not look as handsome up close, Norma hung out with the International Learning Community. Luckily, another guy came up to her with great eye contact, and spoke to her in Spanish. Ever since then, they have been inseparable discussing politics, memes, books, and history. Their relationship grew stronger as Norma struggled with panic attacks, and John kept switching majors - each one supporting the other. In 2020, a little anxious pup came along named Bagel, whom they have spoiled rotten with treats, trips to the dog park, and allowing him to sleep in their bed. After college, they moved down to Raleigh and acquired a feisty and confident chihuahua named Tippy, who loves licking their faces and toes. And now, they are looking for home with a big yard to spend their quiet nights and weekends. Let’s celebrate not just John and Norma, but their little family as well.
