We met nine years ago as freshmen in college, introduced by mutual friends at a party kicking off the spring semester. While we first got to know each other as friends our relationship quickly developed into something more and we have been together since the summer of 2017. We have shared quite a few adventures since our college days—graduating together, navigating two years of a long distance relationship, welcoming our dog Rosie in 2024 and an endless number of trips throughout the US. We have enjoyed living together in Colorado for the past three years, and are excited for our next adventure as we plan to get married and move somewhere new in 2026!
