After meeting in the NIU Athletic Training Program, becoming friends, and one exercise physiology lab 2 years later, Adam asked Bri to meet him and some friends at Molly’s. Even though she was not ready to leave her apartment that night, Bri and Maizy got ready and headed out. A bench at a bar in DeKalb is where our story began. From moving to Michigan, Missouri and Memphis, to Muncie, and back to DeKalb, we knew that though things weren’t picture perfect, our relationship was worth all of the risks. We have spent half of our relationship moving, but home has always been with each other. On July 1, 2023, Adam made forever official when he proposed in the spot we walked to on our first official date (after Portillo’s).
