It was fall of 2015 and the University of Toledo was playing their first football game of the season. Liz was in attendance for the first time as just a spectator (prior to this she was in the marching band at every football game she had attended) and Alex was there too. A storm started brewing, the game got delayed, and a downpour had begun. Most people left the game including Liz and Alex. Both happened to find shelter at a restaurant on the edge of campus. While there and waiting out the rain Liz decided, for no real reason than it sounded like a good idea, to go and say “Hi” to Alex (whom by the way she had never spoken to before that day). She knew who he was because of mutual band friends. Alex’s friend Patrick told Liz to give Alex her number. And that was all it took to write the beginning of their love story.
