We met when we were both working as consultants for rival consulting firms at our Client site in 2015 and became friends. It wasn't until nearly 5 years later however that we reconnected for drinks on Michael's 30th birthday. He NEVER told me it was his birthday and to be fair I probably would not have gone if I knew.... 6 months later we were moving in together in the midst of a Global Pandemic and yet somehow are happier than ever.

We purchased a fixer upper bungalow together on the West Side of Atlanta while in the midst of a pandemic. Some saw us as crazy to take on the challenge, but we saw the potential for the home to be the place where we could begin our lives together. Michael proposed on October 18th - one day after my birthday (he said the birthday would have been a cliché). He proposed right on the front porch of our little crack shack.

We are affectionately dubbing the wedding weekend as #WeekendAtWestEnd. We plan to get married and celebrate in the breweries right across from our home. We have spent so many memories in them over the last year and now we want to show all of our family and friends what makes our neighborhood special!
