After hearing through the grapevine that Rob thought I was cute (and by grapevine I mean the Northeastern Women's Volleyball Team and Mens/Womens Track and Field) I went out with mutual friends and we all met up for a fun night out at none other than Bostons finest bar, Flans. As the snow days staying in, dates, and movie nights continued, it was obvious that we weren't getting rid of each other. We survived the first part of our relationship being long distance while I was in Corvallis, OR and Rob finished school in Boston, MA. Rob would come visit me in Oregon, each goodbye only getting harder. Eventually, Rob moved out to Oregon for a few months while I finished up school and then we packed our bags to live in Texas, Arizona, and eventually will make our way back to the Pacific Northwest. Wherever life takes us next, we are looking forward to it as Mr. and Mrs. Alder!
