Diadra and Matt met in August of 2014. Matt had recently moved to Seattle for his 2nd year of med school and Diadra was living further South in Kent. She was busy teaching dance and traveling. Matt was slaving away in a lab for a research project before the semester began. On one serendipitous occasion, the two met at a bar in Kent. It was not a date, but they really hit it off. They laughed, shared stories, enjoyed drinks, and Diadra taught Matt how to do pull tabs. A couple days later, Matt convinced Diadra to let him cook her dinner. He was very anxious, but nonetheless, she enjoyed herself and he was able to have fun despite his concerns about her impression of his apartment and cooking skills. Little did he know, her cooking skills did not excel beyond quinoa burritos and so she was not difficult to impress in the kitchen. They continued seeing each other and their relationship grew. She moved in just in time for Matt to move back to Montana for his third year. However, they were able to make it work and made it to 4th year, when Matt moved back to Seattle and they had a nice year together living in the ID, eating lots of delicious Asian cuisine and enjoying Seattle. Fast forward another year, and Matt moves to Miami for residency. They bear through a 2nd year apart, but Matt was determined that if all goes well, he would propose when she moved to Miami. In July 2018 Diadra moved to Miami, 2 days later got a job, and a day after that Matt couldn't contain himself and proposed. Now they live together, with a very cute but very high maintenance cat Newt. They hope to one day plant their roots in Matt's home state of Montana.
