Sarah and Grant met in the summer of 2019, both had just started their careers as new graduate nurses on the Progressive Care Unit at Banner University Medical Center - Phoenix. With Grant having started just one week before Sarah, the two learned how to survive acute care nursing together. Over the next two years the two became great friends, they became preceptors, charge nurses, and worked the high-risk COVID-19 unit together for several months. With life slowly emerging from the pandemic, Sarah and Grant decided to join a group of friends for a night of dinner and wine. Afterwards, the group walked to a local ice cream parlor for a sweet treat. Grant noticed Sarah had decided to skip on the ice cream, stating she was “full” from the nights dinner. Grant casually snuck the topic of favorite ice cream flavors into the conversation, making note of when Sarah said chocolate chip mint. He then came back moments later with a large bowl of ice cream, half chocolate and half chocolate chip mint, handing Sarah an extra spoon so they could share. Of course Sarah finished her entire half, despite being “full.” When the night came to an end, Grant decided to walk Sarah back to her car, where he would then asked her out on a date. Sarah responded in her nervous, high pitched voice with “Sure!” Grant and Sarah talked for hours over the next several days, discovering each others interests and hobbies. For their first date, Grant took Sarah to the local aquarium, remember how she shared her love for the ocean. He then took her to dinner for some delicious pizza, but afterwards Grant was hesitant for the night to end. He then decided last minute to take Sarah to his favorite coffee shop, Coffee Rush. There, they talked for hours and the rest is now history. Sarah eventually moved in with Grant and quickly adopted his fur-baby cat, Milo (who now likes Sarah more). While vacationing in Alaska, the two planned a helicopter tour of Juneau, with the opportunity to land on Herbert glacier. This is where Grant got down on one knee, and asked Sarah to marry him! Of course she said yes! The two have been inseparable and their love has only continued to grow. Sarah and Grant are excited for this next chapter of their lives and are thrilled to share this special day with all of their loved ones!
