We have some pretty great friends. Not only have they have been there with us through all kinds of adventures - murder mystery dinners and camping trips and the quest for the perfect grilled cheese - they also introduced us. It was some time during the summer of 2014. Exactly when depends on who you ask: Laura: I remember meeting Leander many times that summer - trivia nights and dinners out and at friend's apartments - and Leander re-introducing himself the first 7 or 8 times. Leander: I remember meeting for the first time at a 4th of July cookout, and I'm sure if those other times had happened (which they didn't) I was very charming. By the end of that summer we were smitten - and had already taken our fist hike together up Snake Mountain where we got engaged four years later.
