We met at SUNY Oswego in our Organic Chemistry lab. Joe was the jokes, Kristina was the brains. After many failed experiments and broken lab equipment, a bond was formed. After countless study sessions and laughs, things became official on March 9th, 2023.

Joe graduated Oswego and continued his education at Utica University. A year later, Kristina graduated and joined him in Utica, as we got our first apartment and began working.

One more year later Joe took Kristina back to the lakeshore of Oswego where they fell in love, to pop the question.
