Kristen grew up in the Quad Cities, Iowa and Kyle grew up a bit west of there, in Silverton, Oregon. Kyle had moved to Davenport, IA for and engineering position and Kristen at the time was finishing her Biochemistry degree. We first met at The Office on Valentines Day (cheesy we know), but the The Office is actually a bar in downtown Davenport, IA. We had mutual friends and we hit it off immediately. We traded numbers and Kristen asked Kyle on the first date to the symphony the following day. No time like the present! The rest is history. We have spent the last 6.5 years taking on the world together. Some favorite activities include visiting with friends and family, trying new restaurants, going out to shows, traveling, hiking, and cooking together.
