How We Met

Rome wasn't built in a year, nor six.

The year was 2011 and we were both Freshmen at CU in Boulder, CO. Through a mutual friend, Collin was introduced to Emmy on the quad on campus, one sunny September afternoon. With immediate interest in the sorority girl in front of him, he asked for her name and dropped an easy (so he thought) pick up line, that was sure to be a grand slam... To his surprise, it landed more like a failed bunt, bases loaded, costing the game. The first date would have to wait a year because she was not going to let him seal any deals quite that easy. The next fall, Collin asked Emmy if she would accompany him to a concert in town, a date. They got to the venue, and the show was sold out... Luckily, Collin always keeps a skateboard (and lots and lots of trash) in his car. Thinking quickly, they found a parking garage and taught each other tricks for hours, laughing hysterically as cars screamed by. They ended the night with a crepe and a slow walk down Pearl street. There were lots of ups and downs and lots of figuring it out, but now we are here and we are doing it! The perfect pair, the perfect match.
