05 — And now, the long version
Our Story

The beginning of our relationship is a bit of a point of contention. Covie is convinced he asked Hannah out first1 and Hannah is convinced she asked Covie out first.2 Regardless, what we can agree on is that we had an amazing first date.3

Covie saw Hannah walking down the street and pretended not to see her, trying to be cool,4 and Hannah saw Covie and thought, “Oh thank god he's hot.” They got boba and proceeded to talk for over three hours, walking from Chinatown to Boston Commons to Cambridge.

The rest is history. Covie visited Hannah's family in San Francisco, becoming the only person Hannah has ever dated that her mother has approved of. Hannah became Covie's cats' favorite person. Hannah taught Covie his often-complimented fashion sense. Covie formatted Hannah's entire thesis. Hannah uses Covie's yellow Boxster as an accessibility aid. Covie can now speak on disability design frameworks.

Now, they are moving back to San Francisco so that Hannah can start her job as a professor at San Francisco State and Covie can be a stay at home cat dad. They have just bought a beautiful house overlooking Lake Merced, and look forward to spending as much time as possible hosting and visiting their friends and families. Please come visit :)

Thank you for being part of our journey. Our community is the thing that brings us the most joy, fulfillment, and gratitude in our lives. Here's to many more years and memories to come.
