Adam and I first met the summer I was living in Champaign when he came to visit a mutual friend. All of our friends went out together that night but we never really talked. I thought he was cute but thought he was a "cocky college kid" and he thought I was too "high maintenance". HA. He came to visit those friends a few other times throughout that next school year where we got to know each other a little more and our friend Ellen suggested to him that we date. Still nothing. Fast forward a couple of years and a career change for me that landed me in northern Illinois, and Adam messaged me to go dinner sometime. Our first date was at the local bar in Mt Morris, IL and the rest is history. After a couple of years of dating, Adam asked me to marry him July 7, 2018, after our parents had all left from having a cookout and meeting for the first time. We are so excited for you all to share in our special day with us!
