Anna and Drew both lived in Kiewit Hall at Creighton University as freshmen. Anna often baked sweets in the common kitchen of the 4th and 5th floors. Drew often ate cookies from people who baked in the common kitchen. Neither remembers meeting. Anna and Drew were both in Dr. Carney's Church History class sophomore year. Anna sat on the right side of the classroom. Drew sat on the left side. Anna thought Drew was a cool frat guy. Drew thought Anna was a cute girl that could probably outrun him. Neither thought much of it. Anna and Drew both enrolled in Creighton's Magis Catholic Teacher Corps after graduation in 2016. Anna taught in Pine Ridge, South Dakota while Drew taught in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Both were dating other people. Anna and Drew both arrived in Omaha single for their second summer of Magis classes. Anna wanted to run before class occasionally and Drew did, too. Neither knew how to communicate that they wanted to sleep in some mornings, so they ran together every day. Both felt this could be the start of something special (in spite of their sore joints).
