We met in August 2020 while we were both working at an outpatient clinic for Children's Hospital in Dallas. Emily was starting her final internship for graduate school, and Jacob was working as a Physical Therapy Assistant before starting his master’s in Sports Performance the next year. Emily had originally turned down an internship at Children's Hospital to work at a different hospital during the summer of 2020. However, due to COVID, the other hospital was no longer taking students, and Emily was offered the Children's internship again. Looks like it was meant to be! After a few months of getting to know each other while they were working, Jacob asked Emily on a date. It was an instant and easy connection. In November 2022, on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Jacob surprised Emily by proposing on the beach with her family watching. We are so excited to start this next phase of life together. We feel so blessed by the love and support we have received from our families and friends and cannot wait to celebrate in October!
