Eric and I met in the fall of 2019 and became official on December 13, 2019. We moved in together after a year and half of dating. In 2022, I was accepted in to a graduate program at West Virginia University, so Eric and I moved to West Virginia. Eric got a job as an environmental scientist and I worked as a GTA while in graduate school. In 2023, Eric and I bought our first house together and a month later he proposed at Seneca Rocks.
