Danielle and Kyle met while attending graduate school at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. They became fast friends and studied together, with Danielle acting as a valuable statistics tutor for Kyle. So valuable in fact, that Kyle scored higher than Danielle on their next statistics test. Of course this begs the question, did he really need a tutor, or did he want to spend more time with Danielle? We may never know the true answer. Regardless, they both spent more time together, talking late into the night, sharing interests, and supporting each other through the ups and downs of graduate school (I mean, Kyle’s smile was really all that was needed to lift Danielle’s spirits). When they both graduated from CSU in May of 2015, they moved out west to California for Danielle’s postdoc, returning to Colorado with a new cat companion, Hubert. Danielle and Kyle have recently settled down in Colorado, buying a house near Denver and both starting new jobs. Honest communication and an openness to new experiences - along with a love of the outdoors - have acted as linchpins of their relationship. They are so grateful for the love, support, and modeling of their dearest friends and family and also want to recognize YOU all on this day!
