Cole transferred into Monmouth College my junior year, and we met on his second day. A group of friends and I were actually looking for someone else when we knocked on his door. We left but came back later that night with some other friends, so we all hung out as a big group; we spent most of our evening talking with each other about basketball. Cole spent the next week trying to get me to hang out with him again, and he was under the impression I wasn't interested; however, in reality, I was busy with school, basketball, and three jobs. Finally, we both had some free time and spent several hours talking about all of our similarities. We were in utter shock at how many things we had in common. By the end of the evening, we decided that we wanted to begin hanging out regularly. On September 3rd, 2013, we had our first date at an old Italian restaurant in Galesburg, IL. The rest is history!
