Her perspective: We met at Avera Mckennan here in Sioux Falls. I (Emily) had just gotten a job in the surgery department and Cody happened to orientate me to the orthopedics specialty. Soon enough we were going on date after date. As I got to truly know Cody, I quickly learned that he is caring, smart, kind, gentle, honest, selfless..... I mean I could go on forever. He is amazing. We turned inseparable and I knew I didn't want to do life without him. We moved in together and 2 years later (after waiting very patiently) he asked me to marry him and I said YES!!! His perspective: I first met Emily at Avera Mckennan. She had just joined our department and I was assigned to be one of her mentors during orientation. I soon found out that she was a fast learner and hard working individual. The thing that made me start to look at her as something more than a great coworker was the way she found humor in the sarcastic things I would often say. After a while, we started seeing each other outside of work. We spent a lot of nights playing pool, darts, or watching movies. I found that she was someone I could be myself around. It was easy to be around her. Since then we have only grown closer and it is hard to picture my life without her by my side. She has one of the largest hearts that I have ever known. She is truly an amazing person.
