We quickly became friends after meeting our freshman year of high school in biology class. We spent many nights doing homework together and going to the movies, but didn't become anything more throughout high school. After going to separate colleges and still keeping in touch, we became just about inseparable during the summer before our sophomore year as college students. As Kuba would put it, "our chemistry was crazy." After moving back to school for the year, we decided to give a long distance relationship a try. With many two hour drives for soccer games and school events, we made it work! Fast forward to post-graduation and looking to further educations, we realized we did not want to be apart. Kuba proposed at a surprise picnic, just before he left for dental school at IU, and Marilyn started an accelerated nursing program!
