Kris and I met through a mutual friend on a group camping trip in 2011. For our first encounter, a majority of our conversation entailed Kris commenting, shrieking rather, about how pale I was. Despite that, we ended up hitting it off. Although he made several passes at me, Kris never tried to get my number, so we didn't talk much until another group trip was planned for snowboarding in Utah the following year. After that trip, not a day went by that we didn't speak. For two years, we dated long distance while Kris was stationed in New Mexico for the Air Force and I finished school in Wisconsin. We’ve been together for almost seven years now. Only seven years together and already our relationship has crossed several state lines and has seen us through two graduations, multiple moves (mostly second and third floor moves… sorry Kris), two broken transmissions, many questionable mustaches, countless car ride duets/ lip syncing battles, some heated Cowboys-Packers games (RIP closet door and Kris's iPhone) and the addition of one portly cat. Here is to a lifetime of laughter.
