We dated throughout the remainder of our graduate school years. Chris graduated with his Ph.D. in sociology in May 2008. I received my Ph.D. in counseling psychology in August 2008. Having a partner in graduate school made the experience much more enjoyable. The support through some tough experiences made a world of difference! We are now Dr. Scheitle and Dr. Platt!
Upon graduation we moved in together in Huntingdon, PA in August 2008. I accepted a visiting assistant professor position at Juniata College and Chris is completing a post-doc at Penn State. One fun part about moving in together was introducing our cats, Callie and Jupiter. They are now mostly friends, minus some sibling rivalry.
