how we met...

~ christmas 2017 ~

Long before Kristen and Hank met that fateful night, a mutual friend, Michelle, told Kristen that she should check out Hank's profile on Facebook. She told her that Hank loved to travel and was a lot of fun; Kristen was intrigued but quickly fell into the black hole of veterinary school, and didn't follow up. In December 2017, the same mutual friend hosted the "Hundred Man Wolfpack's" annual ugly Christmas sweater party and keg race. Kristen put on her best ugly Christmas sweater adorned with a smug looking pug, and Hank put a lot of effort into taping two mini candy canes on his plain green sweater. Both attended the party, and quickly hit it off, mostly thanks to the candy canes according to Hank. One thing led to another, and they both ended up at Coglin's bar in downtown Raleigh, a bar which they both actually despise. After exchanging numbers and getting drinks at the Haymaker pop-up Christmas bar, their fate was sealed!
