Our Story
Settle in…we’ve got 20 years to cover
Documenting 20 years of our relationship ended up being a lot, but we wanted to take this time to reflect on our life together. So, the details are mainly for us, but we hope you enjoy some of the pics and highlights. 🤗
We met in college, at Oklahoma City University
It was back in 2002, I (me…Kari) was in my sophomore year and Andi had transferred to OCU from Kilgore College for her junior year.
Andi was captain of The Rangerettes, the world’s best known collegiate drill team, while at Kilgore; so she was continuing her dance education by getting her bachelor of science degree in “Dance Management”. I was getting mine in “Entertainment Business”. We were pursuing our passions, obviously. Andi loved dance and I loved music…I just didn’t know how to play any instruments (well, at least). 😜
Our degree programs were both part of OCU’s Dance Department, so we ended up having several classes together. We first officially met while working on a group project for one of our classes. Andi was the group leader (of course) and was in charge of keeping us all on task. My responsibility was to do all of the writing since I had taken some public relations classes. Throughout the semester, Andi was always hounding me to get this press release finished for our project. She would see me in one of our other classes or at my work-study job in the dance department and ask me when I was going to email her the press release. I would always tell her that I had sent it to her already (even though I hadn’t) and laugh. 😜 It became a joke between us (to me, at least; not Andi so much), but I did finally get that press release done and we got an A for the project. It wasn’t until much later that Andi admitted she gave me a C! We had all graded each other in the group on our participation. I gave Andi an A. 😍
The Summer of 2003
It was our last summer of college, our last summer of being mostly carefree and our last summer before “adulting”; but, it was our first summer together. 😍
The prior semester we had 3 classes together, so we saw each other almost daily. We sat next to each other in all of our classes and started to become friends. We even started hanging out outside of class. After that semester, we had the best summer of our lives! Andi was taking summer classes and working part-time at the Southwest Theatre Association while I had started my marketing internship at The Bricktown Brewery. We went swimming at Andi’s apartment complex nearly every day, Andi learned to like beer, we went dancing every Saturday night, we drove to Tulsa on a whim to catch a Tori Amos concert, we attended plays and any festival that was free, we obsessed over The Spy…the new (and only) radio station that played indie music and just hung out with each other and with our friends, Jen and Blair.
Andi and I ended up graduating at the same time in December 2003. I graduated early because I always took summer classes and Andi graduated late since she had transferred in. We both graduated with honors; Andi summa cum laude and “just” cum laude for myself, due to the C she gave me for that group project no doubt! 😜 We were figuring out the next chapter of our lives. Andi wanted to perform and she felt the best place for her to start her career was Las Vegas. I wanted to go to Austin, the “Live Music Capital of the World“, where they had South by Southwest. We were young (21 and 23) and we had been together for 6 months or so. We knew we “shouldn’t” be making life decisions based on each other, but we didn’t want to say goodbye either. So, Andi won “Round 1” and off to Vegas we went…together, but also separate.
Viva Las Vegas!
It was 2004 when we moved to Las Vegas. Andi landed a gig performing at The Rio Hotel and Casino, where she was a stage dancer at The Show in the Sky.
I got a job at Best Agency, the company that managed the entertainment programs at The Venetian and Caesars Palace, as executive assistant to the owner.
I mostly worked a regular Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm schedule; Andi, however, worked “show” hours. We’d meet up for my lunch (her breakfast) or see each other late at night after her show was done, but we never had the same days off. Neither of us made much money. I was renting a room from a stranger I had met on Craigslist. Andi was living with a relative who figured out that we were a couple and vowed to break us up (still together 20 years later, sucka! 😜). So yeah…life straight out of college kind of sucked. 😞
Luckily things got better. 🤗 Andi was taken in by one of her castmates, Eddie, who has been a near and dear friend ever since. After a year of dancing, Andi decided she was more interested in production than performing, so she switched over to doing stage management for The Show in the Sky and Erotica, which was another show at The Rio (a topless one!). Eddie, stopped performing as well and he and I actually started working together over at Best Agency. I got promoted to a marketing position and joined a rugby team, where I met my lifelong friends Kathy and Kelly.
We came out!
After being a couple for 2 years, we decided to move in together. This was going to make seeing each other and our finances a lot easier, but it would be the end of our “what happens here, stays here” life that we were living.
We were “out” in Vegas, but we weren’t “out” to everyone in our families. Moving in together meant no more “disappearing acts“ when family came to town; 😳 it meant “coming out” to everyone. Thus began the “family integration”, which ended up lasting several years. We’re glad to report it’s now officially complete. 🤗
The glory days
After we moved in together, things just started falling into place. Andi started a new job doing event production at The Hard Rock Hotel, which she absolutely loved! She met a bunch of celebrities, did some big corporate events and saw some crazy #&%@. 😜
As for me, I finally figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up. 😜
Andi loved the people she worked with and made some lasting friendships with Creecy, Sam, Laura and Jenny. The perks of her job weren’t so bad either! We saw so many concerts at The Joint, which was the Hard Rock’s concert venue. Death Cab for Cutie, Kings of Leon, Circa Survive, Interpol, Breaking Benjamin, Helmet, Billy Talent, Tegan & Sara, John Fogerty, Bloc Party, Sponge, Silverchair, The Killers, Depeche Mode and on and on. It was so much fun!
And with Andi’s new job, our schedules finally lined up and we were able to spend more time together.
While Andi had this amazing job, I was still trying to figure myself out. At the agency, I was in charge of the website and Myspace page (yes...I said MySpace! I had a Blackberry too. 😜). I was working with a software engineer on a custom model and talent database application and it was during this project that I realized what I wanted to do; I wanted to be doing what the software engineer was doing. So while I was still working full-time, I went back to school for computer science and began the process of changing my career, which would end up taking several years.
We ran some marathons
I had been into running since high school. Andi, on the other hand, was never into fitness or exercising in the traditional sense.
All of that changed when we started fitness bootcamp. The very first website I ever built was www.lvbootcamp.net for our friend Kerry Grant. 🤗 I traded my services for free fitness bootcamps for me and Andi, so for over a year, we woke up early and did the 6 AM class before work. Then, on top of bootcamp, we started training for the Long Beach Half Marathon. After completing the half marathon, we figured we might as well just keep training, so then we did the Las Vegas Marathon and officially became one of the 0.05% of people in the U.S. who complete a marathon. It was a very rewarding experience and got Andi hooked on fitness from then on out. Unfortunately, that was not the case for me 😜, but we did end up doing another marathon the following year in San Antonio. During this time in our lives, we were runners. The first time we went to San Francisco for Gay Pride, we ran across the Golden Gate Bridge just so we could say we did it. When we visited Seattle, we did a 5k where everyone wore kilts. We did a 10K out at Area 51 that finished at the Little A’Le’Inn and another run through the old Hoover Dam Railroad Tunnels at night!
Leaving Las Vegas
We had a good time in Las Vegas, but we were missing out on time with our families and growing tired of the desert. While we lived in Las Vegas, 3 more nieces and nephews were born and I had lost 2 important people in my life: my cousin and childhood best friend, Josh, and my Memaw, Helen, who played a huge role in raising my sisters and I.
Andi wasn’t ready to leave though.
I just didn’t want to live as far away from family anymore and I was also trying to change careers. Austin was where I wanted to go originally after college, it was where a lot of the tech jobs were, it was a 5-hour drive from my family and Andi’s immediate family all lived there. Andi had a job she loved though and wasn’t ready to move. We actually broke up for 24 hours over it…the only time we ever split up. After the break up, we decided to play hooky from work (which we had never done before!) and drove to Zion National Park for the day. During our day trip, we decided we couldn’t be without each other and agreed to start saving our money to make the move to Austin, TX…”Round 2” went to me. 😜
The move to Austin would actually happen sooner than we thought. It was 2009 and The Great Recession was in full swing. Las Vegas was hit especially hard as tourism slowed. It also battled Florida for being #1 in foreclosures. At the time, I was working for World Tea Media, managing the worldteaexpo.com and worldteanews.com websites. I had changed jobs so that I was working in something more closely aligned with my career change. The expo was the main driver of that business though and with tourism and the overall economy down, I was let go. It was the first (and so far the only) time that I have been laid off. Luckily, we were somewhat prepared. We had been saving for almost a full year to move to Austin anyways, so I didn’t even bother looking for jobs in Vegas. We were Austin bound.
Getting started in Austin
We found a 1000 sq. ft. loft apartment over in the Far West area and began getting reacquainted with vegetation and humidity. 😜
It took a couple of months, but I was able to find a job at a software company in Austin doing email marketing for a network of job search websites. I started immediately, so I made the drive from Las Vegas to Austin by myself and lived with Andi’s brother and sister-in-law while Andi stayed behind to pack up our life in Vegas. Andi joined me in Austin a couple of months later after she found a job as a contract event planner for Clink Events.
I also met another lifelong friend, Michael, while working at Affiniscape (the software company). Michael would be the one to properly introduce me to Austin and to karaoke! 😜
Career Changes
After several years of going back to school and freelancing on the side, I was finally able to say goodbye to marketing jobs and hello to a full-time frontend engineer position. My career change was officially complete!
While things were finally falling into place for me career-wise, Andi was having a harder time finding her footing in Austin. While working for Clink Events, she was required to become a Certified Wedding Planner. After doing corporate events at The Hard Rock, this just wasn’t lining up with what she enjoyed about her profession and would lead to Andi despising wedding planning (hence no traditional wedding stuff for us and me doing all of the planning 😜). She later took another job at The Crossings Resort (now Miraval), which put her back into the corporate hospitality world, but on a much smaller scale. It wasn’t until she started working for Emerson that she started to enjoy work again.
Andi became the Conference Manager for Emerson Exchange, which is the annual conference for all of Emerson’s customers. Now, instead of working on the venue side (The Hard Rock, The Crossings), she was on the client side, where she was the one contracting the venues. She was able to use her experience from The Hard Rock to elevate the production value of the conference and its events (opening ceremonies, award shows, networking events, etc.). She would stay at this job for the next 9 years.
While at Emerson, she got to work with Sam again, who moved to Austin a few years after us. They had worked together at The Hard Rock. She also met a new lifelong friend, Kristen. Andi and Kristen are each other's chosen work partner. After Emerson, Kristen went to work for RainFocus. Andi would later join her. Then Andi went to work for ServiceNow. Kristen would follow soon after.
We bought a house!
At this point, we started seeing Austin as the place that we would put down roots; so, in 2011, we bought our first (and only) home in northwest Austin. This house became our hobby 😜.
It’s a ranch style home, built in the 70s, that has required some “love” over the years. We loved the deck at Clive’s on Rainey St (the original Clive’s; not the Clive’s it is today), so the first project we did was put a deck in our backyard with the help of my Dad…or rather we helped my Dad put in the deck 😜. We redid the floors, courtesy of Grooms Floor Covering. Later we remodeled the kitchen, which we contracted out, and scarred us for life….but it turned out good in the end 😁. We commissioned a few "pieces" from Andi's Dad too. He made our kitchen shelves, mantle and is currently working on a bench for our entryway. We have more things we want to do and we debate how we’re going to do them (I want to do things ourselves while Andi always wants to hire someone). Currently, we’re learning how to make custom closets 🤗 and have kept the vintage seashell sink from the 70s in the bathroom.
We rescued some pugs
Andi has always been a big animal lover and she loves her some puggies. ❤️ Andi started volunteering for the Pug Rescue of Austin in 2012, using her event planning powers for some of the organizations fundraising events; mainly the annual holiday party. And let me tell you, there is nothing more ridiculous and adorable than a room full of pugs running around in holiday costumes! 🤗
I used to say that if dogs and cats were supposed to live in the house, they would have been born with opposable thumbs. 😳 But after we adopted our sweet “Piggy Boy“, Wrigley, I finally understood what all the fuss about. It wasn’t long and Wrigley was sleeping in the bed with us. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A few months after getting Wrigely, we adopted our “sweet little Sophie Soph”, who keeps one of Andi’s shoes with her when Andi is away. Before the pugs, we had a couple of long haired chihuahuas. First was Daisy, whom Andi got when she lived with Eddie in Vegas. Next was Buster, whom we got after moving to Austin and who never fully came to appreciate Wrigley and Sophie as siblings. And then there was the “O.G.”, Ollie the cat. Andi adopted Ollie while at OCU during the “pre-Kari” era.
At the end of 2020, through the Pug Rescue surprisingly, a Frenchie named Clark, found his way into our home.
We got a scooter!
For the last 10 years, Andi and I have shared a car. We had gone to MotoGP out at the Formula 1 track and I was like, “I need a motorcycle!” Andi said “no”, but that she thought a scooter would be fun. 🤗
So we got the Vespa, I gave my car to my cousin and Andi started chauffeuring me around when it rained. 😜 In the early days, I was definitely a “fair weather rider”, but now I’ve driven in 100-degree heat, in 25-degree cold and yes, in the rain. The single car thing has really only been an inconvenience when we’ve needed to separate. When Kathy lived in Dallas, I would take the “luxury bus” (Vonlane) up there sometimes, so I could just work along the way. If I needed to visit my family in Oklahoma, I would have to rent a car. Or, Andi would borrow a car from her family and I would take the car. But that was all few and far between and a lot better than maintaining two cars.
New Traditions
Every year we say we’re NOT going to go to ACL (Austin City Limits Festival), but then we end up going; which makes it an annual tradition. 😜 ACL can be a bit of “to-do”, but it’s been something fun for us to experience with family and friends and each year we further refine our “system”.
There were a couple of years of “drunk biking”. 😜 Jen crashed one year, I crashed (3 times) the following year and Kathy almost crashed, but instead held herself up on her bike by leaning against a moving van. We learned not to park and bike anymore.
In our early years of ACL, it was all about sneaking @*#% in! One year we bought a bunch of mini vodka pouches and put them in our chair bag (which wouldn’t work nowadays). For a couple of years, we made some “special” desserts and snuck those insides shorts, socks and shoes. Now, though, we can’t be bothered with the effort. 😜 We’re all about the draft beer and food!
When I started working for HomeAway (now Vrbo, Expedia Group), we were able to get VIP passes! Vrbo would sponsor a stage, so they would do a lottery for the employees where we could win tickets and passes to the VIP area; where we would could get free drinks and snacks and even go stand on the side of the stage while the bands were playing! Unfortunately, 2021 was the final year that Vrbo would sponsor a stage, so those days are over. 😞
Passion Pursuits
When Andi started working at Emerson, she would work out with a group of co-workers during lunch. When Emerson moved their offices further north, they all joined Crossfit Round Rock and started drinking the koolaid. 😜 After a few years, Andi was able to do all sorts of tricks…strict pull-ups, handstand push-ups, muscle-ups and snatches (it’s a real thing, you can Google it).
While Andi was getting jacked, I was playing music in The Kari Kave 🤘. I upgraded my drum set and started putting out a few YouTube videos. I hosted several “jam sessions” with various people from work. I forced my family to participate in a few “collaborations“. I got really into fingerpicking for a time. I took violin lessons because I always wanted to learn how to play one. I started a band with my friend, Randall, and had practice at my house every week. I wrote a handful of songs. I started taking guitar lessons…again. I learned how to play Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen on the piano (well, most of it; it’s a long song 😜). I should disclose that I was (am) mediocre at most of these things 😜, but I love music and you don't have to be good at it to enjoy it!
Andi ended up training at several Crossfit gyms around Austin and progressed to the point that she outgrew group classes and would have a coach do programming for her. She’s actually moved away from traditional Crossfit and currently does a hyrbid of both Crossfit and OPEX programming right here in our home gym (the garage).
Some people are football or basketball fanatics. Andi is a Crossfit fanatic. She follows all of the athletes on Instagram and watches all of the Crossfit events (especially “The Games”). And, as if by fate, they started hosting The Rogue Invitational at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock, which we attend every year.
DINK Life
DINKs (Dual income, No kids). That’s what our co-workers would call us…the ones with children anyways 😜. These were like “The Glory Days: Part 2”. We had decent jobs with decent pay and paid time off! And I mean proper PTO, not this 2 week bull @*%# we were accustomed to.
So, we did some traveling. Andi had to travel for work sometimes, so we did a few “piggy back” trips…once to Vancouver, Nashville and also to Germany. We turned the Germany trip into a Europe trip; visiting Paris, London and Amsterdam. Since we didn't live in the same town as Kathy, we would just meet somewhere. We went to Palm Springs for Dinah Shore Weekend, Denver for Kathy’s 30th and New Orleans for one of Kathy’s work trips. We went to Washington D.C. for one of my work trips. We visited Playa de Carmen for the turtles and Mayan ruins and Chicago for Lollapalooza. We’ve enjoyed a few “staycations” as well. We’ve hosted family for some hill country wine and some kids for a Schlitterbahn outing, which is a must-do in this part of Texas.
We also partake in the “holy trinity” of Austin life….hiking, biking and eating tacos. 😜 We like to go mountain biking at Walnut Creek and do some road biking at the South Walnut Creek Trail and at the Formula 1 track for themed “Bike Nights". We live close to Bull Creek and St. Edwards Park, so we’ll do some hiking down there and around Austin. As far as tacos, our favorite taco spot has changed over time. First, was Torchy’s, then Tacodeli and now Veracruz.
We’ve spent a lot time “dinking” around with Andi’s parents too. 😜 They’re living the “retired life”, so we hit up Roughhouse Brewery down in Wimberley with them.
PANKs (Professional Aunts, No Kids)
Our siblings really like having babies! 🤗 My older sister started having kids (2) when Andi and I were still in college. While we lived in Vegas, she had 2 more. Then my younger sister had her first. When we moved to Austin, Andi’s brother and sister-in-law started their family; having 2. Then my younger sister would have another one! So, we have 8 nieces and nephews in total.
The kids have always known us together. Even when they were young and didn’t know we were a couple, they knew that we came as a pair and that we were both their aunts. There was one occasion where I was carrying Kinnedy on my back (the oldest niece) and Andi had Jaycee on hers (the 2nd oldest niece) and they were figuring out everyone’s last names. “Kayla’s last name is Hecox. Colby’s last name is Hecox. Kari’s last name is Grooms. Andi’s last name is…well what’s Andi’s last name?“ Then the other one answered, “It’s Andi Grooms!”
Part of the “aunt gig” is getting to spoil the kids. We don’t live in the same town as any of them, so we’ve started a tradition where we will take them on a trip whenever they graduate high school. It’s our opportunity to get some one-on-one time with them before they head off to college or wherever. So far, we’ve gone on two graduation trips! That’s how we knew we were getting old. 😜 We took Kinnedy on a California road trip up the Pacific Coast Highway. We took Jaycee surfing in La Jolla, CA.
Living closer to Eli and Parker (Andi’s brother’s kids in San Marcos), we’ve been able to see them more. We’ve had the chance to go to their birthday parties, recitals and soccer games. Parker and Andi try to “out flex” each other (doing the splits) and Eli and I do Roblox together.
2020…our worst year
The pandemic happened, sure, but that was the least of our worries. We would lose Kathy, Michael and Wrigley in 2020.
We lost Kathy in January. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 while living in Dallas and had since moved back to Vegas where her family lived. She discovered that the cancer had returned around Thanksgiving 2019. Kathy wouldn’t tell us until mid-December. It all happened very fast. Andi made it to Vegas that evening. I wouldn’t make it in until late that night, but got there in time to say goodbye. We would stay in Vegas that week. Later, Andrew (our friend) and I, would make the drive back to Texas with Kathy’s dog, Piper.
The months after this were especially difficult. We were both grieving in different ways. Andi absorbed herself in work at her new job. I was just trying to not sink into a deep depression. To add fuel to the fire, the pandemic hit. Andi was already working from home because her job was remote. I would join her in March, when Expedia sent employees home indefinitely at all of its offices. Shortly after this, in April, Andi would get laid off.
In May, we would lose Michael. We wouldn’t find out until August what had happened; that he had passed from diabetic ketoacidosis. Michael’s family lived in Korea, so we (George, Mace, myself and our spouses) packed up his apartment. Michael liked to fish down at Port Aransas, so we chartered a boat and scattered his ashes in the jetty.
In November, we would lose our precious “Piggy Boy”. He was my “co-worker” through the pandemic and our source of laughter and comfort through the dark times that we were going through. The house felt so empty and joyless without him, so we left and went to stay with Andi’s parents down in Wimberley for a while.
Soon, it was December. We were ending a horrible year and just hoping for a better 2021.
We’re co-workers
Andi had gotten laid off in April of 2020, but was fortunate to find a remote contract job with ServiceNow within a few of weeks. Andi had switched over to an “Event Technologist“ role back in 2016, so the sudden industry shift to virtual events during the pandemic was actually right up her alley. I was still an iOS software engineer at Expedia.
So, since the pandemic began, Andi and I have been co-workers. Andi’s job was already remote and Expedia sent me and the rest of its employees home to work in March of 2020.
After a year of contracting with ServiceNow, Andi transitioned to a full-time employee. 🤗 She was reunited with a few folks too! Andi actually got referred to ServiceNow by Trevor, whom she had worked with while at Emerson. And Kristen, her work soulmate, would join in 2021. ServiceNow wouldn’t start doing “hybrid” events until 2022, which is when Andi got to go to Australia for the first time!
Andi’s job is still and will always be remote as her team is scattered across the U.S. in California, Colorado and Texas. And since I rarely work with anyone in Austin (I’m the only U.S.-based person on my current team), they don’t make me go into the office. 😜 We converted our shed into an office for Andi, so she works out there while I rotate around the house. We take walk breaks throughout the day to “get out of the office” and have our own version of water cooler talk. 🤗
Our mid-life crisis
I turned 40 in 2022, so I decided it was time to get my act together. I was having a hard time losing weight, so Heather (Andi’s sister-in-law) suggested I go see an Endocrinologist to check and see if I was insulin resistant or something.
Turns out I wasn’t, but something else was going on.
Some of my liver enzymes came back abnormal, so the Endocrinologist sent me to a Gastroenterologist who would order more blood work and have me get an abdominal ultrasound. My blood work actually came back normal this time (Yes!), but my ultrasound was abnormal and one of the new tests revealed I had a positive Mitochondria M2 Antibody, which according to Google, “Mitochondrial antibody is present in approximately 95% of patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). Mitochondrial M2 antibody has an even higher specificity for PBC.“ So, we were freaking out.
At my appointment, the Gastro doctor reviews my results and tells me that I have cirrhosis! We were not expecting that at all! They also said the chances were low that it was not PBC, but that I would have to do a liver biopsy to determine severity and root cause. I was immediately put on a low-sodium diet, told to get a talk therapist and a dietician and told to go to the ER immediately if I experienced any vomiting or blood. Cirrhosis is the final stage of PBC, which can lead to having to get a liver transplant, so that’s what we thought we might be dealing with. We were supposed to go to Costa Rica for the holidays, but canceled that trip, so that I could get the liver biopsy done.
In the meantime, we start figuring out the low-sodium diet that I would have to adhere to for the rest of my life. You basically can’t have salt or anything that uses a preservative; that means no salad dressing, soy sauce, salsa, canned soup, olives, pickles, cheese, eggs, etc…..anything packaged essentially and some other foods that just naturally have sodium. We went to some specialty stores and bought a bunch of “no salt” seasonings. We bought some organic vinegars and olive oils. We spent about an hour and a half at Whole Foods looking for “no salt added” and “low sodium” food items. Andi figured out how to make low-sodium pizza, soup, imitation soy sauce, oat flour pancakes, etc. The soup was the worst! You just can’t do low-sodium soup. 😜
In a dramatic turn of events, the Gastro doctor calls and tells me that my liver biopsy revealed that I did not have cirrhosis! We couldn’t believe it! They said that the Radiologist read my ultrasound wrong. We weren’t trusting the Gastro doctor after this, so we go get a second opinion; this time from a Hepatologist. She tells me that I had very mild fatty liver disease that was likely caused by a combination of genetic predisposition and “too many tacos and beers” (my words, not hers 😜). She said that I did not have PBC and that I had most likely already reversed my fatty liver disease based on my “near normal” liver biopsy. She told me to continue losing weight (the recommended treatment for fatty liver disease) for the next few months and that she would re-check me and likely never see me again.
So all of that for no reason at all! But, some good things have come out of it. We’re getting married, for one. With all of the medical things going on, we realized we literally needed to get the paperwork done. We're going to Costa Rica for our honeymoon. 🤗 I took Fridays off from work for the next few months to focus on some personal projects. I also realized what was important to me. I thought it was going to be seeing The Great Pyramids before I died, but instead all I wanted to do was hang out with Andi and make a damn drawer (because we’re learning how to make custom closets for our house 😜)!
The flag and the pole
When we have described our relationship to other people, we’ve said that Andi is the flag pole and I am the flag; sometimes I’m hanging down beside her and other times I’m flapping in the wind. Either way, we’re together. ❤️
Thank you so much for reading our story and for being a part of our lives. We’re ready for a party, so we hope to see you on the boat! 🤘
