On September 13, 2013, we each decided to attend the Great Gatsby themed dance being held on Notre Dame's campus. While a jazz band played in the background, Sarah happened to run into an old friend from grade school, who also happened to be Joe's roommate. After being introduced, we quickly fell into a conversation that never stopped. The rest of our college years were filled with learning songs to play together, meeting family members, traveling to South America, and imagining our future life with each other. After graduation, there began several years of long-distance while Joe worked in Washington, DC and Sarah worked in Bolivia and Argentina. Sarah returned to DC in 2019, just in time for Joe to leave for law school at Harvard. Finally, in 2021, we began our life in the same location once again when Sarah enrolled at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Later this summer, we will move back to the Midwest and start our married life together in Chicago. We have been incredibly lucky to share the last eight and a half years with so many loving and supportive friends and family. We are so excited to celebrate with all of you in August!
