Our story is a modern love story, we met each other on a dating website in February of 2020. We had a few dates in Morgantown at West Virginia University before COVID times sent us home to live back with our parents. Aaron was beginning an internship for Industrial Engineering, and I was at home completing Occupational Therapy school virtually. Despite the distance and little interaction through texting and calls, we planned to meet in Tysons, Virginia, where Aaron was placed for his internship. After that, the rest is history!

We lived in Oakton, Virginia for about a year together, where we had many adventures in DC and the surrounding areas, getting a small taste of the city life. Then, country roads called us back home to Falling Waters, West Virginia where Aaron officially became a West Virginia resident for the first time!

We have had so much fun so far, with hosting friends and family, taking walks, fishing, trying new ice cream shops, and most importantly- playing wordle in bed together every night before we go to sleep!

Aaron and I have walked through fire more than once, hand in hand—each trial forging us, not breaking us. We've faced storms that could have torn us apart, but instead, they stitched us closer. Through every hardship, we've come out not only standing, but stronger—more in love, more unshakable, and more certain that we’re each other’s home.
