As fate would have it, I moved into Mike’s backyard. Literally. Casual hellos were exchanged between us until Mike’s roommate had both of us tag along to get ice cream with him at Sonic right down the road from our houses. Later that night Mike invited me to see him play in James and the Giant peach - our first official date in early June of 2017, and the rest was history. In 2018 we both graduated from Southern Miss and moved to Virginia together in the summer of 2018. This past 4th of July we got engaged! And here we are getting married almost exactly a year later on July 5th, 2020!
