You would think that attending a small university like Cal Lu, Alec and Kendra would have bumped into each other on campus or met through mutual friends. And then they both did their semester abroad at Southern Cross University in Lismore, Australia, but Kendra was there for the Fall semester and Alec attended in the Spring. They finally did meet through a mutual friend they had made in Australia who came to California for vacation. It was a rough start, being that Alec was an avid Kings fan and Kendra’s car was plastered with Ducks stickers. Kendra didn’t think much of Alec’s chirping, but nevertheless invited him to join her and their friend on a Monday evening drive to Malibu. Kendra warned Alec that the back of the Jeep would get cold by the beach, but he neglected to bring a jacket. On the freezing ride home, his only alternative was to wrap up in beach towels, which dumped sand all over the back of Kendra’s car. Being the gentleman he is, Alec cleaned Kendra’s car, and she started to think that he might be a nice guy after all. The week continued with a trip to Disneyland on Wednesday, then a Saturday evening of ice skating, and the rest, as they say, is history.
