Emi was just starting her second year of work as a PA in Minot, ND when she decided to hop on a website called Hinge. Adam was finishing his last year of medical school in Bismarck, ND at that time. Thankfully, Adam was using Hinge within the 100 mile radius. After a few weeks of talking and finding out just how much they had in common, they went on their first date which included their favorite food (sushi) and a speakeasy. From there it was nothing but dive bar dancing, UND hockey, traveling the US, visiting family, and enjoying the little moments at home. Their relationship was easy, as if they had known each other a lifetime. They moved to Iowa for Adam’s urology residency where Emi also got a job as a PA in urology. Although busy with residency and work, they still made time for traveling which included a ski trip to Big Sky, MT where they got engaged on 2/7/24 surrounded by sparkling snow and Adam’s family. They plan to get married June 7, 2025 in Dickinson, ND - a marriage date shared by both Emi’s parents and grandparents.
