As collegiate athletes we lived a floor apart in Centennial Halls dorm at the University of Denver. As Kara's season came to an end, our two classes began to hang out. As we got to know each other we instantly found a strong friendship that grew to a first date at sitting in the parking lot of a Raisin Canes. That relationship has continued to grow into what it is today, a strong relationship as best friends, eagerly looking for the rest of our lives together.
