Our story began in spring of 2021, in the hardest class of our college careers - Applied Mathematics in Chemical Engineering for anyone wondering. Being in the middle of COVID, we met for the first time the only way possible - in a Zoom lecture.

One study group and a few dates later, we were official. Jenna convinced Pat to spend a little more time on their homework, and Pat convinced Jenna to spend a little (or maybe a lot...) less. It was a perfect match.

After graduation, we moved to Portland, Maine into a shoebox apartment barely bigger than our dorm rooms. We both started engineering jobs at consulting companies and began exploring Maine. With all the great hiking, skiing, beaches, and restaurants it didn't take long for us to know this is where we wanted to stay!

In March 2024, we adopted our (FIRST if you ask Pat, ONLY if you ask Jenna) dog Milo. Later that year, Pat proposed to Jenna on Table Mountain in New Hampshire, and we celebrated with gourmet grilled cheese from Cheese Louise. In May 2025, we moved into our first home, and no one is more excited to have a real yard than Milo!

Our next milestone will be our wedding in October 2026, and we can't wait to see you all there!
