Celebrate With Us!

They told us at orientation at UNI that we will possibly walk away with the person we are going to marry. I never thought that was true but, as it turns out, they were right. We both lived in Bender Hall our freshman year, me room 401 and Matt's room 203. Although we lived in the same building it took a dating app for us to find each other, in this case, Tinder. It took a full week of us talking for us to agree to go on a date. Both of us being broke college students agreed on ordering Domino's and hanging out in Matt's room. Me, being as dramatic as I am, showed up an hour late to cold pizza and an annoyed Matt. Even though it started off with a bad first impression the night could have not been better. We stayed up until 4am talking and sharing stories. Everything seemed to click. We got along so well that the next night he went to the UNI Men's Basketball game with my friends and I. Not only did we have a lot of fun, but a friend group also started. Fast forward one week to me getting the flu for the first time in years. I could not go to class or leave my room and had no one to turn to. I told Matt how I was feeling and he brought me crackers, 7-Up, and his blue blanket. I knew I found a keeper and a blanket to add to my collection. There was never a doubt in my mind he was the person I wanted to spend my life with. Four years and five cats later we both graduated college and are navigating life together. We don't know where life will take us but we do know we want to do it together. #GettingBaked22
