“Well, Sarah's from Michigan, but Brent's from Nebraska, and they met in Texas before Sarah moved to Florida...” A geography lesson comes with our love story! Two midwestern 24-year-olds left their states to travel to a new home in Texas to pursue dreams in their careers. Sarah was attending graduate school at the University of Texas and Brent was completing training for his new project management role at General Electric. As Sarah's program director prophesized in an early conversation, “genetic counselors do well with engineer types.” Learning that, the universe crossed their paths on a hot southern day around Thanksgiving 2018. After their training, Brent returned home to Omaha and Sarah accepted her first job in Tampa (largely for beach related reasons). It turns out that no amount of gulf air can beat a day with your best friend and currently the couple is happily living in Omaha, NE. After five years of dating, Brent proposed to Sarah in front of the largest outdoor Christmas tree (and a public crowd!) in Detroit, MI. It's going to be a tough Christmas gift to top. We can't wait to celebrate at our wedding in October - see you soon!
