Kerstin and I met at Wabash College (ironically) after a concert on campus in 2016. Kerstin was a friend of a roommate and was staying in my house for the night. She first caught my eye as I was walking up the stairs dragging a mattress. You might ask why I was dragging a mattress up the stairs at this hour of night... Well, we were mattress sliding. Yes, as in down the stairs. Kerstin was standing on the loft watching these honorable, innocent, fun, and a little bit crazy men that she has never met probably wondering what she's gotten herself into. As I looked at Kerstin for the first time thinking "Wowwww", and with the help of a little liquid courage, I asked her, "Do you want to try it?" Anyone who knows Kerstin knows what her answer was. We got seated on the mattress at the top of the stairs and flew down the stairs like the Jamaican Bobsledding Team. We crashed into the wall at the bottom, laughed, and took our first picture together. And the rest is history...
