It all started at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry and a dating app. Eric was in his fourth year of dental school and Abbey was in her third year of dental hygiene school.

Winter Break 2015, Abbey went to Breckenridge, Colorado. On day two Abbey completely blew out her knee (an injury that would result in surgery months later). Cue her boredom on social media. The night before Abbey was suppose to start back school she was laying on the couch watching tv and swiping on tinder. Immediately Eric & Abbey were a match. They just chatted about Eric's snowboarding pictures, Abbey's injury and of course dentistry.

The next morning, Abbey was curious if she would even see Eric at the dental school considering there are around 540 students. As Abbey is hobbling into school at 8:00am with a full knee brace a man stops her. The first person she sees back from break and it's Eric. Abbey immediately is lost in Eric's baby blue eyes and doesn't remember the conversation. Eric is very chatty and ever so calm.

As they both head off to lab and lecture, Eric very casually makes the first move to ask Abbey out that night on their first date. He takes her to Hammerheads and the rest is history.
