Keith and Katie met in high school during Katie’s freshman year and Keith’s sophomore year. Keith was instantly smitten by Katie, thinking he was gazing at an angel. Katie, however, thought she was looking at a real life Bugs Bunny. There was always something about Keith that intrigued Katie, but a real life Princess dating a real life cartoon character? It was so unexpected! After the social norms of high school became irrelevant, Katie gave Keith a chance. She’s had the most fun since.

Is it possible to pick just one?! I guess there is one that stands out, since it set the stage for many more to come. We were in the car after about 1 month of dating, crying our eyes out because Keith was off to Keene State and Katie to UNH. We knew we were in love when it felt that painful to envision being apart. However, we had faith that our relationship would withstand 4 years at separate colleges if it were meant to be. 9 years later, the Medlocks were Wedlocked. 1 year after, baby Vi.

Katie would use a few grand to become a certified sleep consultant. As a school counselor, she sees just how much sleep impacts mental health. She hopes to help children and families get the sleep they need to thrive. Keith will use another few grand to publish his comic book he is writing. As a passionate, creative nerd, Keith has starved to add his own unique voice to the comic book industry. The rest of the money will go to their first house…and maybe a special gift or two for their daughter.
