In May 2023, Karter finished his degree and moved to Somerville, just across the street from Trisha. Finally after 15 months of mid-distance, they got to enjoy life together without planning around the dismal purple line train schedule: spontaneous dinners, movie nights, and more grocery store trips.

Over the next several years, we continued to grow together. Meeting each other's families was a joy. Trisha's family, and especially her Dadu (grandpa) in Houston, made Karter feel like a grandson from the very beginning, and Trisha loved how Karter's family welcomed her with such loving, open arms. Every time Karter visits Texas, he is greeted with Trisha’s mom’s apple cake and hours of philosophizing with her. Every time Trisha visits Iowa, she is met with millions of puppy kisses from Karter’s sister’s dog, Artemis.

Throughout the years, we've traveled the world together. We've jumped into the Aegean sea outside Athens, gazed at sunrise hot air balloons in Cappadoccia, ridden camels into the Sahara desert in Morocco, hopped between the vineyards of Bordeaux, and played with the cats of Istanbul. We’re equally thrilled taking cross-country road trips to Iowa as we are taking cross-city road trips to the Natick mall together. Our ever growing travel bucket list keeps us young (and jetlagged).

In the fall of 2025, we took another big step and bought our first home together in Somerville as Trisha finishes the last couple years of her PhD and Karter continues his career as a robotics engineer.
