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 Brooke’s 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 Brooke’s Senior Prom. Brooke graduated high school in June of 2010.

The two were always together, oh and Jonathan was usually with them too.
