We met while in PA school - Nick was a year ahead of Rachael and saw her at a party in this red romper and "just knew" that he wanted to get to know her better and that she was "really pretty." They began initially as friends and would group study together, but timing didn't quite work out for them until after Nick had graduated from school at the end of 2019. They entered 2020 while Rachael was on rotations and then as COVID-19 shocked the world, and somehow ended up for the better. They have been able to travel together and with friends and family in the US and beyond as their relationship grew. They were open to the other's hobbies - even when Rachael hadn't skied in years and Nick actually took her on a black diamond the first time she went with him, and Nick thought he wouldn't make it through an 8 mile hike that Rachael took him on for one of their first dates. They learned from each other as they each started their careers in the medical field and supported each other through the steep learning curve as new PA graduates. Now, as we look back almost 5 years later, we are so lucky to have found each other and worked hard to be where we are today. We are overjoyed to be on this journey together.
