We went on our first date at 11am on February 9, 2022. Coffee between classes on a Wednesday morning was the best two very busy grad students at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign could manage. Anna remembers telling her friends that afternoon, "I think I met someone serious." On one of our next dates, we each wrote a list of qualities we were looking for in a partner on the back of our dinner receipts. When we exchanged lists, we saw that they were nearly identical. Nate proposed on June 18, 2023 while we were on a canoe camping trip in the boundary waters of northern Minnesota. After weathering a year of long distance while Anna finished her master's degree and Nate started his postdoc fellowship, we have started a beautiful chapter of our lives in Madison, Wisconsin. We are grateful beyond measure to have found each other and honored to have the support of our friends and families who have made us who we are. We can't wait to celebrate with all of you!
