We first met while interviewing for a neuroscience graduate program at Columbia University, where Jordan's flirtatious behavior did not impress Kendra at the time. We both decided to go to Stanford instead, and became classmates in September, 2013. A few months later, after realizing we liked each other while at a conference with our classmates, we began to date. Since then, we've continued to bond over our love of hiking, beer, cooking, and the outdoors. In 2018, we made the big decision to adopt a dog, and our pup Sierra became the newest member of our family. Befitting our love of the mountains and hiking, Jordan proposed at the summit of Mount Whitney in the Sierra Nevadas (which is a 22-mile round-trip hike, so no easy feat!). Good thing we made it to the top, because he didn't have a back-up plan! We can't wait to embark on the adventure of marriage and we hope you will join us to celebrate our journey and our commitment to each other.
