We are often asked so...how did you two meet? Home town? College? Nope! It was at Target! Ashley is from Webb City, MO and attended Missouri State University. Hunter is from Carrollton, TX and attended the University of Oklahoma. During Ashley's freshman year winter break she and a group of sorority sisters went to SMC Dallas (Church Conference). On any other year Hunter would have already returned to OU for hockey practice, but was delayed that year due to covid. At the conference, only hotel breakfast was provided and the meals out started to add up. On a quick girls trip to Target Ashley made a point to check out the frozen chicken nuggets to eat in the hotel microwave later (one less meal to eat out). Meanwhile, Hunter was dressed in all OU gear and happened to be in the same aisle picking out chicken nuggets to throw in the oven at home only a few minutes away. Ashley saw Hunter and remembered that OU was at the conference! She asked if that is why Hunter was there. He said no but explained that he went to OU and is from Dallas. After brief introductions, a lot of common interests were discovered. Smiles were exchanged and phone numbers were too! Two weeks later Hunter flew from Dallas to visit Ashley. Two weeks after that Ashley drove to Norman to visit Hunter and the rest was history! From then on they had driven back and forth between schools every few weeks for the few years. Summer internships sent them as far as 1000 to 5000 miles away from each other. When Hunter started a job in Kansas City, the drive became a little bit shorter and the visits became more frequent. Ashley graduated with her MBA in May 2024 and followed Hunter to KC. Now finally together the distance was always worth it :)
