We first met through mutual friends at a party in Ames. A Hawkeye and a Cyclone who managed to put their rivalry aside and become friends. For years we swore we were "just friends," even though everyone around us could clearly see there was something more. Apparently we were the last ones to find out, but we eventually got there. What started as a friendship built on laughs, road trips, and good-natured rivalry eventually turned into something much deeper. Now here we are proving that sometimes Hawkeyes and Cyclones can get along.
