Saul and Maria first met during Winter quarter of Maria’s senior year of college at WWU. They had a class together called Policy Analysis and they say it was the worst. In college, Maria would organize study groups for midterms and finals. She organized a study group for the midterm for their Policy Analysis class - and Saul was the only one that showed up! They became friends, but only saw each other for class and study groups.... until Spring quarter when they ended up having another class together. Naturally, on the first day, Maria was running late and showed up to a nearly full classroom. All but two seats were taken, and one of them happened to be next to Saul. She remembers quickly walking up to Saul and saying "Hi Saul! Do you remember me?!" he nonchalantly replies "Yeah... Maria..." Then she asked if she could sit next to him. LOL. Little did they know that their love would start to blossom from then on. From that spring forward they were inseparable, or as Maria would say... "two peas in a pod."
