During Halloween weekend at Wittenberg University, we met. Together we discovered Maggie needed help with a history paper and Joe needed a date to formal. Maggie quickly learned Joe's daiquiris were quite better than his offer to "help" write papers. After Joe's graduation, we both trekked back and forth to see each other, becoming better friends and making goodbye's harder each time. Maggie finally agreed to come West, and with an apartment all to her own we were finally together. After moving to Portland and being stranded together for 3 weeks in a once-in-a-lifetime snow storm, Maggie moved in with Anna and Joe in winter of 2017. Fostering our love for cooking, hosting, drinking, entertaining, and eating has made us fit perfectly. We have become the best of friends, knowing our Zombie strategy without speaking, our binges of good and bad TV, our love of giving head rubs, and our insatiable hunger for pizza. Maggie, slightly obsessed with the idea of getting a dog, made it about 6 months on the West coast before she lured Joe to a rescue under the pretense of "just playing" with the puppies. An hour later, we walked out proud parents of Lemon... a miniature cow looking dog with one eye blue and one eye brown. Maggie and Joe now work, play, and gorge together. We recently moved our little family to a house that has some major design flaws, but it is a blank canvas we are slowly converting to our own little slice of the world. We have fallen ever so deep in love and are so happy after the past year that we are able to celebrate with family and friends.
