Mark & I met back in the summer of 2012 at a local bar with our group of friends. We flirted a little that night but didn't think too much of anything until I was working as a new graduate nurse on the floor at CMC hospital & Mark was working with Geisigner Life at the time while he was in school for physical therapy. Mark came to the floor, that I was working on, to pick up one of his residents. We stopped & spoke briefly as we both recognized each other. He states that he instantly fell when he saw me helping his resident get ready to leave by helping her with her hair, makeup & getting changed. From that day, we started to message each other via fb, met up with each other on the weekends with our friends & then I was invited over his apartment to watch movies, scary movies as it was in October. To this day, October has been our month<3. Mark asked me to be his girlfriend more than once, until I actually said yes, bc I think as woman we are a little more reserved in the beginning. Mark & I fell hard for each other, very fast, & as things became more & more serious, our two friends groups all combined into one, as we truly are a great big group of friends now, which is truly amazing. Our families became one, where we really don't do anything without the other now, from vacations, birthday dinners, holidays, celebrations. After 4 years of dating, we got a dog together, where we drove all the way to Ohio for our Claysie & then shortly after, we moved in with each other, into a townhouse in Clark summit. A year later, we bought a house together, which we did some remodeling with our families and in just a few short months after finishing, me passing my nurse practitioner boards, I came home one day, after a walk with his mother, to him on one knee in our front room with our puppy to him popping the big question. To here we are today, planning our special day. We are excited to continue our story and go on this journey with you all. <3 XOXO
