As many of you know, we met in Greenville, North Carolina while both of us were in grad school at ECU. Marla was from Georgia, Logan was from Maryland and somehow we both ended up going 6 hours from home for grad school to pursue Geography degrees. Since it was a small program with most people coming in from other schools, the department really made an effort to hang out together and we hit things off from there. Our first date was to Goose Creek State Park in January of 2017, where Marla was a little concerned that Logan was taking her to the middle of nowhere with no cell service... but alas! The date went well and we ended up going out for Valentine's Day a month later. Logan was all set to take advantage of the special, a couple's dinner with pasta and wine for two, but Marla decided she just wanted a sandwich. After some funny first outings, we've grown a lot together over the last seven years. It's crazy where life takes you, but it was definitely meant to be that we both ended up in Greenville all those years ago!
