The Characters:
Bryn & Matt - husband and wife, best friends, support systems, complete opposites

Charlotte The Dog - sweet, old, black with a white chest. Overcame a near fatal back injury, loves her people parents, kind to all humans but sometimes bitchy to other dogs. Has pretty bad teeth but is okay with it.
The Plot:
Bryn, Matt and Charlotte thought they knew exactly what they wanted out of life. They had just graduated college from OU and both nailed great jobs. Bryn in Advertising and Matt in Insurance. They knew where they wanted to live, what they wanted to do, and who they wanted to marry (each other). So off they went to Orange County, California to live the dream.
However, happily ever after was not exactly how it turned out. Shortly after they got married, Bryn had gone through a handful of jobs but was never truly happy with her career choice. She knew what she wanted to be, but unfortunately was heading in the wrong direction. Around the same time, Charlotte was living life to the fullest until one day she jumped off the bed and broke her back. She had extensive surgery, was paralyzed and could not control her bladder. Matt was happy with his career, but dreamed of one day owning property... a single family home, not a condo. And wanted his family to be happy.

The Twist:
Matt got a call about a possible transfer to Charlotte, North Carolina. Oh what an opportunity this was! Bryn would be able to leave her 9 to 5 to pursue her passions. Charlotte could have a mommy that worked from home, which meant companionship and many walks during the day! And Matt could finally see his family completely happy.
And that's where the storyends begins :)
