We met at DePaul University in September 2017, during my Junior year and Luke's Senior year. We both happened to be accounting majors and once informed that Luke was the tutor for the financial reporting class I was in, let's just say I was in there "needing help" every session that was offered. We waited to start dating until the end of that school year, as Luke didn't want to make me uncomfortable, or discourage me from getting the "help" I needed in accounting. Little did he know the whole reason I attended so often was to talk to the cute, goofy accounting tutor. The school year was coming to an end, which meant Luke was not going to be my tutor for much longer. He decided to take a chance and ask me if I would help him pick out art supplies. It only seemed fair, after all he had just helped me for a whole year with debits, and credits, and journal entries--Oh My! On May 4th, 2018 Luke took me to an art store I have never heard of, which has since been closed down, but I will never forget the instant dazzlement that encased me--how and why did he know such a hole-in-the-wall art store when he, himself doesn't even paint? As I helped him pick out oil paint supplies, in hindsight I realized it probably would have been more economical for him to just ask me out to dinner. After the art store, we went back to my apartment to paint with our new supplies. That was the only time Luke used those supplies--they have since been mine for years now. We started officially dating May 25th, of 2018. Fast forward over 4 years later we are now engaged, living in our very own house in Louisville, KY, and have slowly grown our furry family to seven strong and counting.
