Born and raised in Wheeling, WV, the furthest from home I had lived was in Morgantown, WV, but I decided to move back to Wheeling after a couple of years. In 2012, I was given an opportunity to pursue a store manager position in Annapolis, Maryland. Upon much consideration, Luke and I decided that this was a great opportunity for us both, even though living seperately for 4 months would be difficult. I accepted the position and moved to Annapolis in late January 2013, and waited (impatiently) until Luke finished his school year back home. I currently am the Store Manager at Bath and Body Works at the Annapolis Mall.

An Ohioian through and through, Luke graduated from Ohio University in June 2010 with a degree in Early Childhood Education. He spent his first two years as a Reading Specialist at an elementary school in West Virginia. Luke currently teaches second grade in Prince George's County Public Schools.
