We met freshman orientation weekend at Gonzaga University. We lived in the same wing in our dorm, and immediately fell into the same friend group. On the first day of school we found out we had English together, and I quickly chose a seat next to Alex because he was the only one I recognized. After many "study sessions" and a quick DTR at Froyo Earth, we started officially dating about a month into the school year. We survived college together, including a semester of long distance while I studied abroad in Florence, and then an extra semester after graduation while Alex was in grad school. We moved into a 1 bedroom apartment in early 2020, and then quickly into a more spacious house in early 2021...We adopted our pup, Theo, in October of 2021, who completed our little family. After 7 years of dating, we got engaged in Maui, Hawaii on February 25th, 2023. We cannot wait to officially be husband & wife and start a new life chapter as Newlyweds!!
