We first met in class at St. Mary's. Initially we sat next to each other and, even though it took a while, we eventually found common ground over a love of science. Our relationship began as an academic one, but soon burgeoned into much more than something based solely on books.
On October 11th, we went for a hike in French Creek State Park. We sat together, replenishing our diminished calories as our little pup, Mia, explored the fallen leaves. Andrew turned to our bag, saying, "Wait, I have something else." Elizabeth thought that he was just grabbing some more food, but when she turned around, she found a new, happy life waiting for her.
