As you may know, Matthew and I are both medical professionals. This interest started in high school which lead us both to Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. We met at a medical seminar and continued as friends afterwards. Next thing i knew, we were calling every day and planning to see each other again. Can you pick us out of the picture?

Although long distance has not been the easiest feat, it did give us the opportunity to go on some very fun adventures together! The above picture was taken at a music festival in Chicago.

Jaida has often asked me when was the exact moment I knew I wanted to ask her to marry me. Well it was actually right here! A snowy winter wonderland in Ohio that we were at during the Thanksgiving of 2021. She was so beautiful running around in this paradise and she is the only one I want to warm up with by fireplaces for the rest of eternity.

The Day Had Come! 12/22/22! Fred Howard Park on a lovely chilled afternoon and I had taken my bride-to-be to the beach for a little picnic. We got Pub-Subs, sat, relaxed and pestered by a very vocal seagull. My dearest waxed philosophical on the evolutionary advantage fish would have from learning to play dead which told me allllll I needed to know... She had no idea what was coming. I had a friend sneak up with a camera and asked her to become my partner for life.
