Kristie and Carter met through a mutual friend (thanks Cortina!) in November of 2013. Kristie was living in Baltimore at the time completing her graduate degree in physical therapy, and Carter was living in Arlington with friends (including Cortina, who was completing a physical therapy rotation). Kristie met up with Cortina's group one night for a concert in DC – Kristie spotted Carter at the concert venue and asked Cortina to introduce her. Carter bought her a Bud Light and the rest is history! After alternating weekends between Baltimore and Arlington for several years, Carter and Kristie moved in together in North Bethesda, Maryland. A short time afterwards Carter proposed to Kristie while on a walk together in Howard County (with the help of the best chompy girl there is, the Barron's yellow lab Casey)! Although we have transitioned from late-night concerts to farmer's markets and age-appropriate bedtimes, we continue to enjoy all that Bethesda and our new home have to offer. We are so excited to share this day with all of you and are incredibly thankful to have you in our lives!
