We met four years ago–just as the world was shutting down to a global pandemic. We quickly realized that we preferred sheltering in place together than apart.
We spent many months at one another’s homes, watching movies, reading books, and cooking elaborate meals. When restrictions began lifting, we started traveling together.
One of our first trips was to Maine, where we discovered a shared love of lobster and blueberry pie. Ok, we already knew about the pie.
We headed to Paris in 2021, where we made a new friend! She’s very quiet and has a mysterious smile.
A COVID resurgence scuttled our plans to to go Italy, so we visited New Mexico instead. We’ll make it to Pompeii at some point.
Since we met almost four years ago, we’ve been lucky to have wonderful moments in far-flung destinations. But our favorite place is still home, where we can take walks on Hilton Head’s gorgeous beaches.
And since the beach is where Stephen proposed, it’ll always be our favorite place!
