Anna and Chris met back in first grade when they rode the school bus together to Gifford Elementary. They remained friends through freshman year of high school, but with different classes and no longer riding the bus frequently, they lost touch. Years went by, but Anna and Chris found themselves reconnected at a mutual friend’s bon fire when Anna happened to be home for summer break from college. They started dating shortly afterward, and though they were on opposite ends of Wisconsin, Chris in Racine and Anna in River Falls, they tried to see each other as often as they could. Chris would plan dates like carriage rides and dancing by the river and would even surprise Anna by making the drive to see her when not originally planned. Once Anna finished her Bachelor’s degree, her and Chris got their first apartment in Oak Creek and recently bought a house in Franksville, where they currently live with their parakeet, dog, horse, emu, geese, chickens, and pigeons.
