We met as 4th year medical students, competing for a general surgery internship spot at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. As interns we became close friends and our friendship quickly developed into something more. When we started dating, Katie was already headed to Japan in 6 months time and Amol was deciding between pursuing his dream of becoming a flight surgeon or staying at NMCP to finish residency. We knew whatever was decided, we didn't want to be apart for long. Before Katie left for Japan, we took a road trip to visit family, and Amol proposed on the S.S. Badger that crosses Lake Michigan. He had decided to become a flight surgeon; and to ensure he was prioritized for a position close to Katie, we were married in September 2018. A lot has happened since then! We intended to celebrate with all our friends and family in 2020, but fate had other plans. Although the world is still recovering, we hope you can join us this September to celebrate our 4th year of marriage and the newest addition to our family. With love, Katie and Amol
