Some may know our story, others may not. Carter and I met not long after I started working at Chippenham in the Pediatric Emergency Department. Carter had come to Chippenham for his clinical rotation and was paired with me to shadow for the day. When his shift came to an end, we said our goodbyes not knowing if we would ever cross paths again.

I left the floor to transport a sick child and he left to make his journey back to Orange, Va. Little did I know, before he left, he left me a note on my desk. Saying, "It was great talking to you, I'd love to take you to dinner sometime," and left his phone number.

As soon as I got off shift I texted him, and we talked for a while, and our connection flourished from there.

Now we have been together for a little over 2 years and currently reside in Orange, Va with our little fur family, Diesel and Ruger.

We could not be any happier to start a new chapter in our lives and be able to share it with our friends and family.
