We met in college. We were in the sorority and fraternity on campus as well! From parties, classes, and community service we were always running into each other and became good friends. At the end of our sophomore year we decided to go to each others formals in the sorority and fraternity and just kept talking. Conor went home for the summer and then when he came back in the fall for school he made it more official!
Conor got new skis for Christmas and I thought it would be a good idea to take a trip to Ellicottville to try them out while I was on break from school! We went on a Monday, dropped Pepper off at my dads and drove there. I have only skied 2x in my life before this so I was ready to take some easy rides down the bunny hill to get started. Conor was very adamant to go down the main hill. We did and I whipped out! We decided to go back to the car after that to change because it was so warm out and then go get a drink to recoup after my fall! We went to take some pictures before we got some drinks on the balcony area in the corner, and that's where Conor surprised me! He brought a friend to come capture the moment and they will forever be some of our favorite pictures.
We can't forget about our little pepperoni! We got pepper in 2021. We both knew we wanted to get a dog eventually but I decided to start looking early anyways without telling Conor! My sister recently rescued her dog and found Pepper shortly after and sent a picture of her to me. I reached out to the rescue and we decided to have Pepper come for a weekend visit and if all went well we would keep her. I asked one of Conor's friends to make plans with him so I could have Pepper at our place when he got home. When he got back I surprised him for an early birthday gift! Sadly we got covid 2 days later, so the first few puppy days were hard, but thanks to my mom for watching Pepper for her first few days, it got easier!
