We met while attending the University of South Dakota during Madison’s sophomore year and Kirsten’s first year. It was not until the following year that we started noticing one another while playing on the same intermural soccer team and hanging among the same friend groups. It took falling off the side of a house together at a party, with Gretchen and Taryn as our witnesses, and a later coffee date before we started dating. Over eight years later, we still feel thankful for that rainy night at a house party when we thought climbing on top of a house was a good idea.
