Our Wedding

Where do we begin? It's difficult to find the words to summarize 5 unbelievable years of love, laughs, and creating a beautiful life together. We began dating in 2020 at Abilene Christian University. 3 days later the world shut down for COVID. Leading to many Facetime dates, online Catan, and groveling about our upcoming MCAT exam. Fortunately, we were only long-distance for 5 months and we were able to begin our senior year of college together. We fell quickly and hard for each other, knowing we had met our forever soulmate. We graduated college in 2021 and were lucky enough to get accepted to the same medical school. We packed up and moved further west to **gorgeous** Lubbock Texas. Medical school together has been nothing short of a dream! Cadaver lab, coffee runs, and last-minute study crams are much better when your partner is in the same room as you. Together, we worked on many research projects, volunteered at Free Clinic, and founded an organization to connect medical students with patients with intellectual disabilities. Not to mention, we made many amazing friends and learned more than we thought capable of! The best part of medical school? Adopting our two cats! Our MossBall (aka Mossy, MossMan, BigBrown, PukeyPants, and Perfect Angel) was adopted the day before starting medical school. Our Cheddar (aka Rat, Ratward, Ratloaf, StinkRat, and STOP THAT) was adopted a month before our first licensing exam. Raising MossBall together brings us such joy, raising Cheddar together has taught us patience and understanding. Throughout medical school, we also found an unexpected love for the outdoors. We began by frequenting Ruidoso and realized that the world is much bigger and more beautiful than West Texas. Since then, we have visited 10 National Parks, summited (on foot) Pike's Peak, tent camped in 6-degree weather and hurricane level winds, and seen breathtaking views. Kade proposed at Rocky Mountain National Park. We cannot wait to continue seeing the world together.
