There was no question of the power dynamic when Matt and Hannah first met, him a new and nervous freshman and her, an older and wiser sophomore Program Resource Assistant (she threw events for the students at their dorm). Just kidding (kind of...)! While they may have met his freshman and her sophomore year, sparks didn't fly until a few years later. They reconnected during St. Pats (huge two-week rager at their school) - the most appropriate time and place to meet your future spouse and life partner. Hannah started her career in southeast Missouri while Matt finished his degree and later started his career in central Kansas. After a year of easy and frequent 820-mile weekend drives, Hannah moved in with Matt in Wichita, Kansas. The two became deeply involved with the community, making lifetime friends and memories. After three years together in the Great Plains, Matt and Hannah had a quarter life crisis and decided it was time for a change of scenery. Pulling their camper behind them, they headed for the Bay Area of northern California. After a year of hikes, exploring unbridled natural beauty, and financially crippling rent, the winds of Matt's career changed and the two took on new opportunities in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Midwest at heart, the couple settled into Michigan like slipping into a pair of old shoes. They continue to explore the nature around them and make new friends along the way. They bought their first home together in December of 2024 and are ready to set roots and grow.
