Our story starts in the first summer of grad school. A group of our classmates were going for a hike and cliff jumping over the weekend at Becket Quarry, naturally this was an activity that we both wanted to be a part of. After a short walk in the woods we came to the end of the first cliff. As we all stood there looking over the edge, no one wanted to be the first to jump. Allie walked up to the edge of the cliff, looked directly at Marisa and said, "if you jump, I'll jump". Marisa nervously agreed and stepped up next to Allie, and together they jumped. That moment was the turning point in our friendship that turned us from strangers to friends and later grew in to a beautiful relationship. We often refer to that moment throughout our big life decisions and it has served us well, whether it was taking a camping trip across the country to California, signing up for a marathon, or booking that trip to Disney World. We face the challenges.... TOGETHER.
