Our story started thanks to an out of the blue decision: Jamie’s older sister unexpectedly moved from the mountains of California to the swamps of Louisiana. When Jamie came to visit, the two of them were heading out for coffee when her sister noticed that Shane’s front door—her next-door neighbor—was wide open. Naturally, they decided to go say hello. So Jamie walked in behind her sister… and walked straight into Shane’s living room. No grand setup, no planned introduction—just an unexpected doorway and two people suddenly staring at each other like, “Oh. Hi. You exist.” That tiny, unplanned moment turned into an 18-year adventure. And now, here we are, making it official.
