Kate and Claudia both attended graduate school at USC for physical therapy but never actually crossed paths while there. Claudia, the Bay Area native, went on to pursue her residency at Stanford. By chance, one year later Kate, the SoCal native, pursued her residency at Stanford too. Claudia just completed her residency and was to mentor Kate at Stanford. First meeting: mentoring session. First intimidated, Claudia wasn't sure about this new intelligent resident but soon pursued Kate after finding out 3rd party information (thanks Don :)) that Kate was single. Claudia kindly asked to pick Kate up from the airport over Thanksgiving and tested Kate's "D1 athletic" ability on the ice-skating rink. Although close, Kate beat Claudia with speed on the ice which would start one of their many "When D1 Athletes Date" competitions. Despite bruises from not being able to brake on the ice, Kate was intrigued and invited Claudia to see Christmas lights with Hot Toddy's. Claudia won this drinking competition easily coming from her Swiss roots. And so the adventures between the two began and have only become more and more competitive along the way! They knew it was true love when Kate passed the Haeussler family test of body shots in Cancun and Claudia passed the Kevorken test of tall shelves and unlimited commotion. They can't wait for all of you to share in their special day! Let's get this party started!
