While Rachel moved to Springfield, Missouri after residency for a new clinical pharmacy position, Clay was stationed with the Army at Fort Leonard Wood for Captain's Career Course. Within a few months, what started off as fun dates to restaurants and small coffee shops around town, quickly turned into a long-distance romance! To their surprise, Clay found himself stationed in Ansbach, Germany - almost 5,000 miles away. From Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, England, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, France, and Switzerland, Rachel and Clay have made many memories and a love to last a lifetime.
