We first met participating in Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science in 7th grade when both of our experiments sent us to compete at Penn State. Our paths crossed again the summer of 9th grade when we found ourselves in the same group of friends at band camp. It wasn't long before everyone knew we had a crush on each other. Through the marching band season and the high school musical, our friendship grew, until finally in March of 2011 Adam got the courage to ask me out. The rest is history! We dated all through high school and I drug Adam along to every school dance. After graduation, I moved to Berea, OH to attend Baldwin Wallace University and got my Bachelors degree in Biology. Adam moved to Rochester, NY and received a Bachelors and Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering. Following 5+ years of long distance, Adam got a job with Honda and moved to Columbus, OH with me while I finished my last 2 years of Dental School at Ohio State. After my graduation from Ohio State, we moved to Columbia, SC to complete a 1 year dental residency program before our upcoming wedding! Following the completion of residency, we will be moving back to Columbus, Ohio!

Adam proposed on a hike in Shenandoah National Park! After a 5 mile hike to the top of Hawksbill Summit, much to my surprise, he dropped to his knee in front of a crowd of hikers! It took 10 years, but somehow everyone was still surprised.
