It all started in Arkansas…random yes, we know. I, Adriana, had just started my first year at the Clinton School of Public Service. I was eager to make friends and enjoy this new city I would call home for the next four years. I can still remember the moment I met Brandon, it was during our week-long orientation. He was a concurrent student in law school and a master's candidate. As one of the graduate assistants, he was tasked with presenting to the incoming class about graduate assistantships. At this point, I was over orientation and ready for a nap. However, as soon I entered the room my heart started to race and my stomach was full of butterflies as I laid my eyes on Brandon. At that moment, I was determined to get to know him. As time went on we grew inseparable. We spent our time studying, salsa dancing, socializing with friends, and traveling to Philadelphia and Colorado. After graduation, Brandon planned to return to Colorado and I had landed a full-time position in Arkansas. Reality hit, were we going to continue our relationship? How were we going to manage living in two different states? We were determined to make it work and we did! Fast forward to March 2021, Brandon and I moved to Philadelphia. A month later Brandon proposed and less than 4 months later we purchased our first home in our favorite neighborhood, Manayunk. We also adopted two cute, feisty cats Isla Luna and Iris. We are absolutely blessed to have found one another.
