Our story kicked off on a warm Tuesday evening in August 2021 in Arlington, Virginia. Nathan and I found ourselves on the ultimate frisbee field, where playful glances and conversation flew amidst the spirited throws and catches. Little did we know a casual pickup game would be the start of our relationship together. Over the next 26 months, Nathan and I made memories all around the USA—Washington, DC, Texas, and Pennsylvania. We've strolled along King Street, enjoyed enchanting evenings at the Nutcracker and Wicked, whipped up dinners together, and cheered for the Texas A&M football team (Gig 'em!). We still play ultimate frisbee every week next to the iconic Washington Monument, enjoying the game that brought us together and some Chick-fil-A after. We've loved running around the heart of our nation together, including during the Marine Corps Marathon. In fact, Nathan decided to pop the question right after the 26.2 miles together! As I thought he was kneeling for a picture (which had me completely confused), he had a whole different plan—asking me to marry him. Now, Nathan and I are ready to start our next chapter together. We're so grateful to God for bringing us together and blessing us with so many wonderful people who have been part of our relationship. We can't wait to celebrate our journey with all the people we love!
