We both made the decision to go to school at Southwest Baptist University. Max came to the university on a scholarship to play tennis and I came just to enjoy my time at a Christian University and hopefully improve my tennis abilities. Max arrived a semester after me and during his first semester we started to build a friendship in our only class together. We both took a speech class with the same teacher but at different times. We started working together on assignments and quizzes and slowly became closer and closer. By the time the summer came I recall reaching out to him a couple of times but we were nothing more than friends. However, by the time thanksgiving rolled around we realized we wanted to pursue each other and we started spending more time together. We officially started dating after winter break and from there it was history.
