Rob and Brooke met in high school in a school environmental club in 2007. The two were on a field trip at a rock climbing gym when they first started talking. Brooke was helping a lot of her friends climb the wall when Rob asked her if she wanted to climb the wall. She was hesitant to let her climb with his help but finally she climbed to the top with his help. Later that night he messaged her on Facebook to text him sometime. The two text back and forth for a couple months before he finally asked her out. The two had to keep it a secret from Brookeβs parents because of a rule her mom set of no dating until her summer of her junior year.
In 2009 the two went to Robs Senior Prom. Rob graduated high school in June. He left for Penn Tech in August of 2009. Rob came home every weekend to see Brooke. In 2010 Brooke and Rob went to Brookeβs Senior Prom. Brooke graduated high school in June of 2010.
All throughout high school and college Rob and Brooke did many things together. They traveled up and down the east coast, went to camper shows with Brooke’s family, took hikes to see waterfalls, went on car rides to the middle of no where, they went to all the local fairs, and they ate their fair share of ice cream together. The two were always together, oh and Jonathan was usually with them too.
Brooke and Rob travelled back and forth from each otherβs college in Clarion and Williamsport. They were always adventuring around in Clarion or Williamsport with their friends there.

Brooke’s mom talked to the local to find the perfect spot for a sunset on the beach and which day would be the best sunset. Jonathan and Rob hid the ring from Brooke.
