We met at a floor dinner at Wiley dining court during our freshman year of college. We had some mutual friends but it wasn't until the following year that we were both accepted into Purdue's Aerospace Engineering program and began having most of our classes together. Each semester, we spent more and more time with each other, and in 2017, we finally started dating :)

Almost 8 years after we first met, Brady proposed at my favorite place in the world - Indiana Dunes State Park. It was a beautiful August morning and we had tied Jack (our dog, obviously) to a nearby post so we could get a picture just the two of us. Right as I finished setting a camera timer on my phone, Brady pulled out his great-grandmother's ring and asked me to marry him. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
