Anniversary Date: October 13, 2018
Love Story: We were both on the Midland track team when we met in September 2012 at our first practice of the year. He was a mid distance runner and I was a pole vaulter and we started dating on January 23, 2013. After dating for almost 4 1/2 years, we both graduated on May 15, 2017; I was graduating with a BSN and he was graduating with a MBA. After I received my diploma he met me on stage and asked me to marry him in front of everyone! I of course said yes and we got married on October 13, 2018 and are enjoying newly married life!
