Dave and I are recent graduates from Purdue University. We have two cats - Charlie and Dixie Belle, a min-Dachshund named Murphy. Dave and I are heading to law school and grad school after the wedding. Our dreams? For Dave - a federal judgeship. For me? A professorship in women's/gender studies and a few published books. We are both home-bodies who love an evening in eating good food and watching movies. Ultimately, our best and favorite times are those spent together.

Dave began his career at Purdue as a computer science major, and my best friend at the time, Brian, was also a computer science major. They both happened to live on the same floor of the same dorm, and worked together on various projects for their classes throughout the year. I met Dave when he came into Brian's room one day, and we began a friendship that slowly progressed to something more throughout the year. As soon as summer came around, we made it official, and almost five years later we've been together ever since!
