We met in 2019 while studying at Michigan State University. We started dating in March of 2020, just days before the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. After months of facetimes, mail care packages, and shared movie streams, we were able to start our lives together. With Nathan already having a black cat named Pip, Nadia wanted to foster animals for the humane society. However, we only ever "fostered" one animal, another black cat named Sylvia. We loved her so much that we ended up adopting her, growing our little family to four. Three more years were spent together until the question came. Nathan proposed to Nadia on July 3rd, 2023, and of course, she said yes. On August 13th, 2023 we adopted a third black kitten named Jaxon. We bought our house in January near Nadia's new job as a Labor and Delivery nurse in Owosso. As we finish up projects in our new home and plan for a wedding, our little family has a lot to look forward to!
