We met in 2010, our freshman year of college at Virginia Tech. We were placed in the same dorm building, O'Shaughnessy Hall, and met through mutual friends before Winter break. We didn't start dating until 2013, but remained close over the years seeing each other on campus, at parties, and football games. After graduation, we moved to Florida. In 2016, we moved to St. Petersburg, where we live today, and adopted our dog Gracie. Kevin proposed in November 2019 at a rooftop restaurant on the beach. It was cold and windy, but we were determined to celebrate Kevin's birthday, but instead we celebrated our new engagement. We are so excited to start this next phase of our lives together, and cannot wait to celebrate with you in May!
