I moved to St Louis in March of 2019 and started my RN career on the orthopedic floor at Mercy Hospital. Justin started as a nurse's tech on the orthopedic floor that summer of 2019. We had a good coworker relationship at this time 😊

Justin and mine's friendship really blossomed in fall of 2020. Marianne (a coworker of ours who is like our work mom) started an ortho hiking group. So we hiked a lot!! And talked.

Here is us doing just that walking and talking! 😊 (this is before we were together)

After months of hiking, working out, and working together we became something more. This was our first official date at Union Station! 😁

We went on lots of fun dates!! This is us at the Aquarium in Springfield! 😁

In the beginning, Justin had to work hard to win my dog Charlie over!!

We went on a trip to Arkansas to visit Justin's Aunt & Uncle 😊
