Hi, I’m Morgan! I met Josh my freshmen year at K-State in Steel Bridge. We were little freshmen both clueless of what we were doing at the time. We became best friends through studying and Steel Bridge. I met Kenzie through Josh and I am so thankful. The first time I met Kenzie I could immediately tell that she liked Josh, and Josh liked her. They are two of my favorite people and I couldn’t be happier for them!!
