March 2015. The air was brisk and drunken students filled the campus. St. Patrick’s Day weekend, or leading up to it, Meredith began work at the POD. It wasn't long until she was assigned a closing shift and had to be trained in such matters and fortunately for them, the person in charge of that training was Russell. Now, stories would say that this is where eyes met, sparks flew, and love at first sight began, but kids, this ain't a fairytale. Russell was a cranky man, tired of drunk freshmen, and Meredith was apprehensive of his caveman attitude. They continued to have shifts together at the most glorious POD and they grew on one another. Russell remained cranky, to everyone but Meredith, and his silly antics made her realize, that he wasn't quite the caveman she thought he was. One fateful evening, with the promise of a one-eyed cat named Captain Stanley Fuzzy Bottoms, Meredith ventured off campus with Russell and the rest, is history. In the years that followed Russell faithfully accompanied Meredith to Massachusetts where they lived for four years while she earned her veterinary degree. They then travelled down south together to Charlotte to start their new lives with their growing family of cats in tow. Not too long after, Russell proposed, and the preparations began. There for each other through thick and thin, Meredith and Russell have proved time and time again, that nothing can stop them. Supportive, loving, fun and a little bit crazy, they complement each other perfectly and cannot wait to spend the rest of their lives growing, loving, and exploring together, through whatever comes their way.
