how we met
James and Heather met on a dating
app in 2021. James's opening line was a quote from The Office, which instantly hooked Heather.
Their first date was during a snowstorm and they almost bailed, but met up for coffee at Annie's Coffee and Creamery. They stayed there, talking, until close.

James got a job at offer at North Dakota State University after completing his Ph.D. Since they were serious about their relationship and Heather was fully remote for work, they decided to move to Fargo together. They packed up a U-Haul and moved to the far north.
Heather went with James on a family trip to Maine. They stayed in a beautiful Airbnb along the water, ate lobster rolls, and visited lighthouses,
