Our Story
Our story began in November 2019 at a friendsgiving party hosted by Hannah's nursing school cohort. Hannah's friend, dating one of Rob's best friends, thought we'd hit it off and had planned for us to meet. We bonded over 'The Office' and our shared sense of humor. Two weeks later, Rob finally texted for a date – brunch in Chicago with bottomless mimosas and pints of Guinness afterwards at our now go-to Irish Pub, The Kerryman. Our journey deepened over the next month, revealing our goofy sides, especially during a laughter-filled trip to a friend's lakehouse in Wisconsin in April 2020.
Rob proposed on a random Sunday morning in April 2023, suggesting we check out a new coffee spot and pretty river-side park nearby our apartment. Afterwards we had a nice two-day adventure, including a surprise getaway to New Buffalo, Michigan.
And now, as we step into this next chapter, we're looking back at the awesome ride we've had. Our love, sprouted from laughs and adventures, keeps getting better with each day.

Adventures Together
February 09, 2021
Our first weekend getaway trip together. We drove to Gatlinburg, Tennessee and rented a cabin in the Smoky Mountains. We hiked, went snowboarding (Hannah's first time!), and watched the super bowl together.
May 28, 2021
Later in 2021, we decided to fly to Montana together and hike through Glacier National Park. It was our first week long trip together, and we bonded over our passion for the outdoors. We hiked as much as we possibly could, and we took a day to bike up the mountains, throughout the park's main road. Hannah was not as excited about it as Rob!
October 18, 2021
Visiting our good friends Mike & Amy (the couple responsible for setting us up!) in Virginia. Hiked Shenandoah National Park with their dog Libby, and checked out the top museums in Washington DC.
January 08, 2022
The first of many trips to Denver, Colorado to visit Hannah's cousin Emily! For Rob's birthday we got tickets to a Chiefs vs. Broncos game in Denver (Chiefs Victory!), and later headed to Breckenridge to Snowboard.
February 16, 2022
In 2022, we were able to visit Hannah's grandparents in Mazatlan, Mexico. They had been traveling there during the winter over the last ~40 years, so we had the best tour guides you could ask for!
April 23, 2023
Our first night as an engaged couple! Rob rented a cozy Airbnb in New Buffalo, Michigan. We had a nice dinner the night we were engaged, and hiked the Indiana Dunes before heading back home the day after.

After we got engaged, the Nichols family all went on a cruise to Europe - visiting Italy, Turkey, & Greece. This picture is us in Taormina, a beautiful city on the east coast of Sicily.
