Noah says he first noticed me during our first semester at W&M in our Introduction to Economics class. I was always rushing out of the classroom to get to my next class and that caught his eye. He says he never could catch up to me because I was always gone so quickly. I think the truth is he was just too nervous. It wasn’t until second semester, when Noah saw me sitting alone in the dining hall, that he worked up the courage to approach me. At the time, I thought it was a prank. He was so goofy and kept rambling on and on about school. He even told me he was on the football team, which I thought was a pickup line. Turns out he actually was on the team! Noah eventually asked me out on a date and I couldn't help but agree to go with him. It didn't hurt that he was kinda cute! Our first date was at The Blue Talon Bistro- the only date where he has been on time. Over dinner, we talked about our classes, sports, and the toys we loved to play with as kids. I think it was his playful energy that got me hooked. The rest is history! From study abroad in South Africa, to Anthropology classes together, and even the same clubs (Ice Hockey and NAACP) we have been inseparable! After graduation and a very hard year of long distance dating while Noah was establishing SportAI, Noah asked me to marry him!! And so, during a hike around Theodore Roosevelt Island on a beautiful fall day overlooking the Potomac River, I said "Yes!"
