From Allison: Andrew and I met for the first time at our friends' wedding. Andrew reached out a few months later because the Braves made it to the play offs. We chatted a little over Facebook Messenger, but then it fizzled out once the Braves were out of the running for the World Series. Fast forward to A. WHOLE. YEAR. LATER..... Braves were in the World Series again. He reached out again. The Braves won. I guess that is what we needed to continue to chat. We bonded over a love of baseball, dogs, plants and adventures. He then invited me to travel across the country to stay at his house, meet all of his friends and spend thanksgiving with him. My first thought was absolutely not! After some gentle nudging from my sister and a promise from a close friend that she would be there too, I made the trip. I'm so thankful that my GIANT leap of faith paid off more than I could have ever dreamed. After 1.5 years of long distance, a year in Colorado and a cross country move together we haven't looked back once. Can't wait for all the other adventures that await us! From Andrew: I first saw Alli while she was getting ready for my best friends wedding. She was across the room, sitting on the floor, and her sassy wit caught me off guard. I heard her mention something about the Braves being in the playoffs, and I couldn't help but strike up a conversation about baseball. When I got home, I had to check in with her to get her thoughts on the Braves games. The Brave's players wanted to start their beach vacations early that year, so my mind also took a year vacation... Fast forward to the Brave's 2021 World Series push and I needed to know what Alli thought. I knew we could talk ball, but the other conversations flowed easily, too easily. Our talks moved from the game to life, and what we both wanted from life sounded like a grand slam. I had to invite her to my Friendsgiving, but I wasn't sure if she'd actually come. She said yes for the first time and I couldn't be more grateful. That was our first adventure, that first step into the unknown, that attractive force that pulled us together and hasn't let go. I can't wait for the next adventures and leaps into the unknown with you!
