Though the chemistry graduate program brought us together, we connected in the woods. Our first friend date was spent trekking up the mountains in Gold Bar, playing on rocks, and bonding over the struggle to make friends in a new city. And here we are, seven years later, best friends, housemates, adventure buddies, coauthors, and chosen life partners. We're grateful to the community of people that built us and brought us together; we'd be honored if you'd come to the woods to celebrate with us.
