We met in late 2020 playing beach volleyball with mutual friends. After some time getting to know each other, we began dating in January 2021. We were able to meet each others' families that year, and then dated long-distance in 2022 while Evan got his Master's Degree 2 hours away at Purdue (through Whirlpool). On March 7, 2023, we went to watch the sunset at Tiscornia beach, and Evan got down on one knee to propose. We're SO excited!
