We met while in grad school at the University of Oregon #thankyoutinder. Claire was able to stay in Eugene with a fellowship at the local hospital but Armando was led across the country to Virginia for work. The distance wasn't easy, but after a year and a half, Eugene was home to both of us again. We enjoyed the PNW for another couple of years before deciding it was time to take the next step in our relationship and shook hands on our engagement to each other. Celebrating what is to come in our lives together with all of our friends and family in the city we fell in love is exciting and we can't wait to have you all here with us to enter this next chapter with each other.
