We first met in August of 2014; we had both gotten our first job at a Which Wich sandwich shop. We quickly became fast friends, spending most of our late nights stamping bags in the booth and talking (we called ourselves the stamp crew). As our friendship began to grow, he eventually asked me out to lunch and the rest is history.

Before the start of the 2019-2020 school year, we left for a 2 and a half week long national parks road trip with a group of close friends. Near the end of the trip, while visiting Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, located in western Colorado, Paul pulled me to the side and we walked along a secluded trail overlooking the canyon. As he began talking about our lives up to that point and the future ahead of us, he got down on one knee and asked the question. And as you can tell, I said yes!
