Kaia and Cole’s paths in life first crossed in high school in 2017. During a family dynamics class paired together on an assignment as strangers. They laughed and shared warmth over something as simple as Kaia’s foundation smeared on the paper bearing a strong resemblance to peanut butter. Bonding through laughter kept them smiling together even when no words were shared, the same thoughts were. From graduation to them moving in together as well as sharing many road trips they remained together only growing closer in time. Cole had known from the beginning that Kaia was his other half and he was hers. On a cold day in November of 2023 atop Stone Mountain, Cole decided to propose to Kaia. From then on they adopted their puppy Obi and became a happy little family.
