We met in undergrad. I lived in the sorority house that was next door to Brock's apartment complex. Brock lived at that house for 3 years before the day he decided to ring our doorbell. He and some friends wanted a tour of the house. We were all introduced, but all he and I could remember was he was wearing a colts hat, and I was wearing a packers hat. Eventually, we went on our first official date in October and Brock got me a pretty sweet... drinking ticket. After that, learning we have the same birthday, and making me laugh more than I ever had... I found my best friend. We began dating in November and Brock proposed 18 months later on graduation day in May 2014.
After graduating, I pursued an internship in Chicago while Brock studied for post-grad. Once Brock got accepted to SLU for PA school, we moved to St. Louis, MO. I was only there a few months before I accepted a job in Washington, DC working for DOD. I think we both would agree, this was the most challenging 2 years of our relationship. It tested us and broke us down, but it also made us work that much harder to get back to one another. Finally, he did it! Graduated from grad school in December 2018 and met me in Virginia. We've found a cozy apartment that we enjoy coming home to.
