Sara and Coleson first crossed paths in seventh grade gym class. What started as a simple school acquaintance soon turned into something special. Their first date took place at the Lights of Christmas. Sara’s mom drove them, and the car ride was a quiet one, filled with the exchange of Christmas gifts. When they arrived, it started to heavily rain, and Coleson, dressed in just a thin hoodie, braved the cold. It wasn’t until they got inside and had some hot cocoa that Coleson realized how chilly he had been. Despite the rainy weather, they made the best of their time together. It took a few months for Coleson to meet Sara’s dad, and their first encounter was memorable for an unexpected reason. During a move, Sara’s dad accidentally pinched his fingers between a couch and a wall, and his surprised exclamation was the first thing Coleson heard. Nonetheless, the meeting went well and Coleson became a part of Sara’s life. In eighth grade, Sara and Coleson were paired together in geometry class. They found they worked well as a team, and Sara appreciated Coleson’s sense of humor and intelligence. Their collaboration in class further solidified their connection. Since their first date in December 2013, Sara and Coleson have been together through various milestones. Coleson supported Sara when she chose Towson for softball, and Sara was there for Coleson as he made decisions about college. They managed long-distance during their college years, with Coleson making efforts to visit whenever he could. After Sara finished school, they moved in together and celebrated their nine-year anniversary by adopting a kitten named Aurora. They marked their tenth anniversary in 2023 with a legal marriage, making their relationship official. Sara and Coleson’s story is one of steady growth and mutual support. As they continue to build their life together, their shared experiences reflect a strong and enduring partnership.
