Our friendship began in 2006 during 7th grade in a Rocky Run Middle School gym class. We became fast friends and by 8th grade, Jason worked up the courage to ask Katie to be his date to the 8th grade dance. Apparently the response of "I'll go with you as a friend" did not go over very well and our relationship took a break for 6 years until our paths crossed again at Virginia Tech.

We met again at a party at Tech and quickly fell back into the strong friendship we had built several years before. After a few months of pretending we were only friends, we decided to give dating a try and the rest is history. Virginia Tech is our most favorite place in the whole world!

After Tech, we began adulting together and have loved every minute of it! In June 2018 we adopted a four legged, goofy pup to our little family. Bodie keeps us laughing every day and loves to adventure with us.

Our engagement was an adventure of epic proportion. Jason surprised Katie with a trip to Iceland and let her plan the whole thing (the gift that keeps on giving)! We spent the trip hiking and exploring together and Jason popped the question in front of a beautiful waterfall named Seljalandsfoss. We are SO excited to be married this year, and cannot wait to share this journey with our amazing family and friends!
