Chase and I both come from farming families. So naturally, we were friends throughout our time in college at Purdue. I am one year older than Chase so my time ended at Purdue in May 2020 during COVID. We reconnected at a mutual friend's engagement party at Purdue. As good friends, we never realized how similar we are. Chase and I both have a passion for agriculture, love to cook, and love to go on adventures. We were doing long distance for the majority of our relationship. This allowed us to try out a lot of amazing restaurants and go out on many different types of adventures. Our most exciting adventure to date is when Chase proposed on top of a volcano in New Mexico on August 22, 2022.
