While Jordan and his crew were celebrating his birthday at Imaginarium Three Taverns Brewery—because nothing says "another year older" like craft beer and chicken sandwiches —Mollie and her entourage (two human friends and her dog named Chai) decided to crash the party. The problem? There were only two fire pits, and since it was the end of January, everyone in Atlanta was pretending to be cold. The girls needed to find warmth—or at least make new friends who had camped out at a fire already. Justin Joyner, one of Jordan’s friends, saw the girls eyeing their fire pit like a pack of freezing squirrels and invited them to join. Not only that, he even offered them some cold Chick-fil-A, because nothing says “welcome” like hours-old chicken sandwiches. A few moments of polite chit-chat later, Jordan and Mollie discovered they both went to Georgia Tech and shared at least one other passion: complaining about how challenging it was to make it through physics lectures. Sparks flew! And not just from the fire. After the brewery, Jordan’s crew joined Mollie’s crew for a Beltline stroll that somehow ended in a pizza detour, because carbs are the universal love language. At the end of the night, Mollie, despite living in the opposite direction, offered Jordan a ride home. Either she was feeling generous, or she’d already decided this guy wasn’t that bad. Jordan must've said something right because, by the end of the week, he’d convinced Mollie to go on a date. One date led to another, and a couple of years later, Mollie sold her condo and moved into Jordan’s place, where they realized living together in a small house was fun, but wasn’t always easy! Jordan realized Mollie has “too much shit”, which led to clutter, and Mollie realized Jordan didn’t make his bed or put his laundry away (sorry, Shar!). In April 2023, Jordan and Mollie upgraded to a craftsman house in Kirkwood, Atlanta, and embarked on a renovation so massive, they’re both basically qualified to be on an HGTV show. By December, they finally moved in, having survived the trials of renovation life—proving that if you can make it through a renovation without killing each other, you can survive anything. Pro tip: If the foundation of your relationship can survive dust, demo days, and the decision-making process for 57 types of light fixtures, you’re golden.
