Cody and Alexis met the good ole fashion way - Bumble - in May of 2020. At the time, Alexis was finishing her master's degree and had just started at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice while Cody was finishing EMT school and studying for his state firefighter certification. After a few weeks of chatting back and forth, Cody and Alexis went on their first date at Mavericks Dance Hall in June, where Cody shamelessly admitted that his mom was also at the dance hall. For Cody, it was love at first swipe. For Alexis, it was dancing the night away and spending time with both Cody and his mom that made her realize she was going to fall hard. Cody and Alexis have been inseparable ever since. Due to COVID, dates primarily consisted of movie nights and having dinner at each other's homes if the dance hall was closed. Alexis's grandma, Doris, was staying with Alexis that summer and was adamant that Cody was the one the night that she met him. He was nothing short of respectful, and took good care of Alexis and Doris. Alexis, though she wasn't ready to admit aloud, already knew that Cody was the man of her dreams. Cody was notoriously known for saying that dogs were a deal breaker for him, but that certainly wasn't the case with Alexis. Cody asked Alexis and her two dogs, Castiel and Alibi, to move in with him in September of 2020. Alexis and Cody both knew that they were moving quickly, but they also knew that they couldn't imagine a day without one another. Cody popped the question on April 7th after just 9 months together, knowing that Alexis was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his days with. In November 2021, they brought home Dexter the Dane; the last piece to their family puzzle. Alexis and Cody are excited to see all the memories and milestones that will be made together with the abundance of love they have for each other.
