We met on a snowy, cold night in November up in Fort Collins. Little did we know how many mutual friends we would end up having, one of them in particular lead us to meet that night. A simple night where we started at a friend’s house and cruised to the campus west bars. (Mind you Madison was only 20 at the time.) We got into the first bar no problem; mostly because I worked there and "vouched" for her. After a few drinks a change of scenery was in order, so we decided on a quick walk down the road to the next bar. It was so cold that night that one of our friends decided to attempt a " Christmas Story" reenactment and quite literally stuck his tongue to a pull; bleeding and proud he told us he did it and the movie didn't make it up. Anyways the second bar was not so easy to get into. Confidence riding high and a fake I.D. in hand Madison says, "I got this." No more then five minutes later the fake I.D. was gone, along with the confidence and with nowhere else to go, the night was seemingly coming to an end. That's when I finally grew a pair and asked her to come over to my house which was close. We ended up staying up all night talking and trading stories only to find we had many similarities and truly enjoyed each other’s company. A night we can’t believe was over 8 years ago today, but also a night we will never forget.
