Pat and Abby met in college after being set up by friends, and were slightly forced into a facebook relationship. After messaging back and forth between nursing exams and Pat's time on the range, Pat finally had the nerve to pass along his phone number. Naturally, Abby held onto this for about a week before deciding to contact Pat further. After a few weeks of texting, Pat came to Pittsburgh to meet who he had yet to figure out was the love of his life. After weeks of weekend trips to Pittsburgh, a relationship began! This would soon become 9 months of separation, countless trips back and forth from NC to visit each other, and Abby moving to Fayetteville after graduation. After living together for a year, and adopting two lovely fur babies Miley and Callie, Pat popped the question before celebrating their 2 year anniversary!
