We originally met in school at Glendale when I (Jessica) moved to the area in 7th grade. We were friends throughout high school, but went our separate ways when Tim joined the work force after graduation and I went to college. We stayed in touch and got together with mutual friends during my summer and winter breaks. The summer after graduation, I asked him *as a friend* to go on a hiking trip with me to to Ricketts Glen State Park. We both apparently had a great time, because we spent the next several months going on more hiking adventures, concerts, Pirate games, and Penn State tailgates. Fast forward 3.5 years, three apartments, new jobs, and a graduate degree later, we're still having fun and figuring out this life together as *almost* husband and wife!
