We met at intermural volleyball at UW- Eau Claire. Evan was on a team with some of his roommates and some other girls. Madie's roommate was filling in for one of the girls and asked Madie is she wanted to join. Madie and her friends became friends with the boys on the team. They also kept seeing each other at the dining hall and Dairy Queen. The group of Madie's friends and Evan's friends had a game night and would play pool after dinner. Evan asked Madie out to dinner in May and the rest was history.
