I (Andrea) met Mike at James Madison University (go Dukes) on December 3, 2017 and instantly connected. After the first date to Bojangles, we were inseparable. We met after class daily for lunch and dinner, took countless trips to E-Hall, and learned to navigate college life together. We even adopted a dog named Jax together. Mike graduated in 2020, and I graduated one year after in 2021. After my graduation, we moved to Florida during the pandemic to figure life out together. Many days were spent at Disney World walking around and snacking our way through the parks, fishing down the street from the house, and spending time on the beach. Mike found out he was accepted to join the Virginia State Police academy for the 141st class, so we moved back to Virginia September of 2023. Since then, we have been working, spending time together, making new friends, and enjoying all that life has to offer... And of course, hanging with Jax.
