We met during our first semester of our first year of graduate school in 2016. We were paired for a group project (thank you, Dr. Griffiths!) and instantly became best friends. We continued taking classes together and studying/homework became our unofficial dates. In April of 2018, Ian asked me to accompany him on a trip to Sedona, AZ (Ian insists that this was our first date). On May 4, 2018, he officially asked me on a date (I insist that this was our first date!) and that's where our love story began! We moved to Chicago in May of 2019 and were engaged in July of that year. We luckily had the opportunity to move to Indiana together for our internship year and are currently loving our time in the Midwest!
