We met through a mutual friend and knew of each other but had never officially met. Hallie was attending Iowa State University at the time and Will was working at Lehman Service in Adair, Iowa. We briefly saw each other at a party but never talked since Will was sleeping. Fast forward a few weeks later we started texting and instantly knew we had a connection. Fun Fact: Hallie got Will's number and texted him first! For our first date we attended an Iowa State football game and got dinner. Will then started coming to see Hallie every single day commuting 2 and a half hours to do so. It has been history ever since then. We then got a place together in Ames and soon after got our dog Cooper. From there we got engaged and and moved to the Adair area.
