About Jamicoles (James & Nicole)
The courtship
James and Nicole were 4,000 miles apart when they first struck up a conversation. It was July of 2016 when they had made a fateful encounter on a social meet-up app (as millennials do) the night before James was to leave on a trip to Alaska for his mom's birthday. They got to know each other in text during those first weeks before agreeing to meet for a drink upon his return.
They would spend most of their free time together in the following months, and the burgeoning relationship slowly evolved into a committed partnership, one held together by love and mutual affection. And sometimes wine.
The Proposal
Early one morning in March of 2018, hours before sunrise, James gently tapped Nicole from her slumber and whispered:
They drove in the darkness to an empty park, where Nicole patiently waited for James to set up his trusty telescope in the middle of a field beneath a towering oak tree. They gazed at Jupiter and Saturn in the predawn hours, and when Nicole was finished looking at the greatest ring in our solar system, she received one of her own.
Three months later they would purchase their first home together, where they currently reside with their feline daughters, Ghost and Newmina.
Origin of the name Jamicoles
Pronounced "Jah-mick-uh-leez," it's the name given to our beloved e-spawn, who was created using a filter that combined our faces. We figured it would be a good indication of what our grown child may look like.
So beautiful.
