Through a mutual friend, Rachel, we ended up meeting one summer in Omaha while at Creighton for our lab session. There was immediate chemistry from the very first moment. We would sit next to each other every chance that we got and flirted non-stop. Finally, we decided that we would just be an item! <3 Those two weeks went by so fast, it was insane! We had our first kiss, shared that we loved each other, and decided that we would move in together. We went on our first official one-on-one date on our last day in Omaha. We went to the Tap House in downtown Omaha. We ate spicy jalapeno bottle caps, burgers, and had whiskey and spent the time chatting and getting to know each other even more.
Cody ended up moving to Arizona from Minnesota. I flew to Minnesota to drive to Arizona with Cody. We first lived in a tiny two bedroom apartment where we spent most of our time studying, playing video games, drinking, hanging out, and exploring Arizona. We ended up taking one of our first vacations, a road trip! We explored California, Vegas, and the Grand Canyon/Flagstaff area. Road trips home are sort of our thing now. The most memorable road trip we've ever had was on our way home to Minnesota. We took a different route through northern Arizona where we took a trip through the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. Most people don't know this, but you aren't allowed to take any rocks out of the park, but we took one out! (Hint - my Engagement Ring!!). Since then, we've taken several trips home. We also graduated pharmacy school (finally!) and started adulting in the real world. This is when we decided to go full force and start planning the wedding
This part of the story has yet to be told, but we can't wait for everyone to be part of our greatest adventure!
