I met PJ at the St. Mark's / Hockaday Adventure Day in the 4th grade. It was love at first sight, but PJ didn't know that. So, throughout middle school and high school, we remained distant friends until freshman year of college. In June 2018, I was lucky enough to rekindle our relationship at the "La Fiesta Ball".

We agreed to take a leap of faith and enter into a long distance relationship with no end in sight. I spent the remainder of my college years in Charlottesville, VA at UVA while PJ was across the country in Dallas at SMU.

Although the end of long distance following graduation would have logically made sense, I took a job in Charlotte, NC and promised to be in the same city after 2 years. Finally, after nearly 4.5 years of traveling across the country on a monthly basis (with some exciting international trips sprinkled throughout), I moved back to Dallas to be with PJ.

Our relationship truly flourished in the second half of 2023 once we were settled into life in the same city, and it didn't take long for me to get down on one knee. We were engaged on December 22nd, 2023, the day of our 5-year dating anniversary.

We likely could not have survived the ups and downs of our tricky, long distance relationship without the support of our friends and family . I cannot thank everyone enough for forming such a solid foundation for our relationship. We are so excited to have everyone together this August, and I can't wait to celebrate the day we become husband and wife!
