“Suze, as I call her, and I actually met at an airport as we were both leaving for the same trip. To say the least, I did not win her over right away as I was teasing her about her packing situation and she was not a fan of my attire. However, since we were both on the same trip we got to hang out more and know each other more and luckily she was able to see the “real me”. At the end of the trip we decided to stay in touch – but nothing serious as she was a teacher in Philadelphia and I was in grad school in Raleigh. However, after a year of teaching and a few visits here and there, she decided to take a job in nearby Durham and move down to North Carolina. At this point we were able to see each other quite a bit more and eventually moved in with each other, living in our cozy condo for about 3 years together. She was instrumental in getting me through grad school and I like to think I kept her alive by cooking for her. Keeping with the travel theme, we actually got engaged at the observation deck at RDU airport where I lured her into trespassing with me to watch the planes and propose (luckily my covert sister Joely was there to keep the cops from arresting us haha). We’ve grown together quite a bit since we moved in together, having recently relocated to Boston and starting a new life up here. She keeps me sane with her steady touch and sometimes I make her crazy with my spontaneity, but it’s a good match. She’s the harmony to my melody, as we like to say. We both love getting out of our comfort zones by exploring wherever we are, traveling wherever we can, doing improv together, and whatever else.” – Landon
