Michael and Judy met while attending the University of Dallas. They became friends while both participating in Student Government their freshmen year, and at the end of the fall of their sophomore year started to date. They traveled Europe together during their semester abroad with UD's Rome program; their favorite country to visit was Denmark. During their junior and senior years, Michael and Judy developed more mutual interests, such as their almost weekly trip to get ramen in Dallas and journeys to national parks. Michael was a Politics major with an interest in law, and Judy was a history major with interests in archival and library science. Both of them graduated in 2018, and continue to work towards their career goals in New Hampshire where Michael currently attends University of New Hampshire Law. Michael and Judy both were involved in the scouting movement, and both enjoy hiking. Over a couple summers Judy worked at a scout camp in New Mexico and each summer Michael would go to visit her for a week so they could explore the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado. During the second summer trip, Michael and Judy visited Zapata Falls, where with vast views across the Rockies, Michael asked Judy to experience those kind views with him forever. Judy said yes and the rest is history!
