Our story began in 2015 at the University of Cincinnati, where Mitchell and I first met. What started as a simple encounter would quickly turn into an incredible journey. By June 2016, we began dating, beginning a new chapter full of laughter, adventure, and endless memories.

Mitchell graduated in 2018, and I followed in 2019, both excited for what our future had in store.

In 2020, we took another big step together and bought our first home—a place that had a lot of potential but needed A LOT of work. Not long after, in 2020, we adopted our first fur baby Mollie, a sassy brindle short-haired dachshund who has brought so much joy and “noise into ours and our neighbors’ lives”- Mitchell.

We spent 2021 making our house truly feel like a home, completing renovations and moving in that November. It was a time of growth and transformation, not only for our home but our relationship as well.

In January of 2022, Mitchell started CRNA school, a big and exciting commitment. In June of 2022, I expanded the family again by adopting another fur baby, Peanut. Mitchell was not too happy with “The Nut” at first but they are now best friends.

I still did not think we had enough going on and in August of 2023 I decided to pursue another degree-set to graduate in August of 2025.

Finally, on January 5th, 2023, Mitchell surprised me with a proposal in front of the house we built together marking the beginning of the next big chapter in our lives.

During the excitement of wedding planning, Mitchell also FINALLY graduated from CRNA school, and by February 2025, he began working as a CRNA.

We are beyond grateful to have had the love and support of our friends and family throughout our journey. Your presence has meant the world to us, and we can’t wait to celebrate our love with all of you as we embark on this next adventure together.

Here’s to the future—filled with love, laughter, and countless new memories!

With love,

Julia & Mitchell
