How We Met

Summer 2010

There were a few times that our paths could have crossed, but it wasn't until the summer of 2010 that we finally met while hootin' and hollerin' as Northwoods kids do. Haley's best friend, Amy (also Ross' cousin), heard of a shindig where cousin Ross also happened to be at. After playing some games that broke the ice, we stayed out until the sun came up - chatting, flirting, and laughing. There were definitely sparks there, but Ross was leaving for the Marine Corps at the end of the week and Haley was only a senior in high school...so there really wasn't much thought to what this could be. But that didn't stop us from sneaking in a few stolen moments and making the most of Ross' last week home. On one particularly hot day, we went to Fifield bridge for some swimming, where Ross pushed Haley off without warning... but lucky for him, he's hard to stay mad at and that is where they shared their first kiss. Want some extra cuteness? Haley gave Ross her senior picture the morning before he left for boot camp, and he still carries it in his wallet to this day - almost 12 years later.
