When Annie's duplex she had been living in for years sold to a new owner, she thought she was getting kicked out. Instead, her new landlord moved in downstairs and, due to covid, brought his bachelor friends around to be his 'bubble'. In comes Kyle. Since the pandemic limited outside interaction, the upstairs girls and the downstairs boys started to spend a lot of time together. After trying to woo Annie for months by matching her handicap in cornhole, dominating in Settlers of Catan, trying to help de-skunk her dog, and casually leaving his wallet in her upstairs unit forcing himself to see her again, she finally uttered the words 'Never Say Never' (if you know, you know). Within months his cat was living in that upstairs unit, he never went home, and they set out to move to a place all their own. They have encountered so much together since those early days at Robinwood. Flooded basements, the losses of their beloved dogs, furloughed jobs; these are the things that have strengthened their partnership and prepped them for marriage. Despite some lows, they have also experienced incredible highs together. They've traveled to once in a lifetime destinations, raised several new fur babies, excelled into new jobs and promotions, become a part of one another's families, and they help each other grow every step of the way. September 6, 2025 is just the beginning.
