Hannah and Andy met in December 2017, during their senior year of college at CU Boulder. After meeting through Bumble, they had their first date over margaritas at the Rio. They later realized their paths had overlapped many times during the earlier years of college- including to see Jane Goodall, Bernie Sanders, and Joe Biden speak. After graduating, they stayed in Boulder through the summer- hiking at Chautauqua, swimming at the Boulder Res, and biking together at the Thursday Night Bike Cruiser. Their love for each other solidified during a 10-day road trip through the Southwest.

When they met, they thought their relationship would stay as a college fling, as Hannah had plans to move to Spain after graduation and Andy was planning to move back in with his parents while applying to medical school. However, feelings grew and plans changed- Hannah decided to move back to Denver after graduating, and they navigated the first year of post-grad together.

In July 2019, the couple moved to Kirksville, Missouri for Andy to start med school. They adopted their first cat, Oliver, 2 days after moving to Missouri. Less than a year later, they found themselves weathering the covid lockdown together. Shortly after the pandemic began, their second cat, Luna, found her way into their lives (via a classmate’s porch). They spent a second year in Kirksville, and then moved to Tempe, Arizona for Andy’s clinical rotations.

The summer of 2023 was a whirlwind! After Andy finished his last rotation of medical school, the couple went on another road trip, this time through Ireland and Scotland. While spending a few days on the magical Isle of Skye, Andy proposed to Hannah during a hike along the Fairy Pools. They had barely returned to Colorado before leaving again, driving to Missouri for Andy’s graduation. After a weekend of celebrating with friends and family, it was time to transition to the next chapter. Hannah and Andy returned to Arizona to pack up their apartment and finally make the move back to Colorado.

Hannah, Andy, Ollie, and Luna moved to Fort Collins and immediately fell in love with it. Andy began his residency in Family Medicine, the final step in becoming a doctor. After 7 years together, they are looking forward to tying the knot and starting this next chapter of their lives together.
