Our story began at Oregon State University, where Susan and I met in an ATS 201 class. Susan ended up at my place for a study session, which coincided with my 25th birthday, turning into a mini party with friends.


From there, our friendship blossomed into something more, leading to our first official date a couple of days later. Fast forward through the chaotic COVID years, we leaned on each other and our shared love for video games and Taco Bell runs.


Despite the challenges, Susan seamlessly blended into my New Jersey crew. We both graduated with Bachelor of Science degrees, and while I pursued further education at Old Dominion University in Virginia, Susan found her passion as a Cartographer for the Navy.


With our shared love for our five cats and countless memories, I popped the question in our first home together, marking the start of our next adventure.


As we look back on our journey from Oregon to Virginia, we cant help but wonder: Whats next for us? <3
