Blair and Cassandra met online about 5 years ago. They got to know each other long distance before she moved to AL to be with him, just in time for COVID! Lockdown meant they really got to know each other and what the other person is like to live with. Blair hadn’t lived with someone in a while before Cassandra came along, so he had to learn what it was like to share a limited bathroom and closet space with another person. It was an adjustment, but he did great! They lived together in an older home before moving to their current home about 3 years ago. The biggest reason for moving was to have a better school district for future children and a fenced in yard their dog, Biscuit.
Cassandra works five days a week. She is able to work from home most days but does go into the office for a few hours. When she isn’t working, she enjoys spending her time going out to stores like Target, HomeGoods and Barnes and Noble. Reading is a new hobby she has picked up and reads mostly fantasy books. She is a big fan of wearing comfortable clothes and most times, that includes being inside so she does occasionally spend her weekends at home. Cassandra will return to school in the near future, but it is an online school so she will be able to continue her journey to earning her Master’s in Social Work while raising a newborn baby.
Blair stopped working to help take care of his mother when she got sick. She passed in 2023, and he plans to be a stay-at-home father for any future child. He takes care of the pets and the house and ensures the groceries are always stocked. He is not a cook, that is his weakness, but Cassandra can cook when needed.
Cassandra and Blair enjoy traveling together. Blair has played a trading card game called Magic The Gathering since 1994. He got to travel to Japan and the Czech Republic to play in professional tournaments. He still plays casually with friends at the local card shop and has taught Cassandra to play. Cassandra enjoys spending her time with her friends or going shopping. She has found a close friend who enjoys the same books as her, so they sometimes go out to a local coffee shop and read for the day. When her friends are busy, she enjoys spending time in her back yard reading by herself. She also enjoys photography on the side. She enjoys taking pictures of nature, her pets, and the occasional human model.
We have one dog and one cat. Biscuit is our dog. He is 3 years old and loves our backyard. We call it “Biscuit’s yard” because he runs around chasing the squirrels. He is friendly, loves all people and other pets, and gets along well with the neighborhood kids. He really loves when he sees them while on a walk and they give him treats. Amelia is our cat. She is 9 years old and came with Cassandra when she moved from NJ to AL. She grew up with multiple dogs and knows how to tell us and Biscuit when she does not want to be bothered. She enjoys laying on blankets, in warm sunny spots and looking outside the window to watch the birds.
