Paul and I were on George Mason's cross country/track team so we initially met during pre-season August 2015. When classes started, we came to realize we had the same anatomy lab class: Wednesdays at 0730. Paul said hi the first class and sat right down next to me making us lab partners for the rest of the semester. We didnt talk much the first few classes but eventually Paul started to make conversation and we soon realized we each had lots to say. We started getting breakfast before class, waking up even earlier so we would have time to "study" over my hot coffee with whipped cream and Paul's biscuits and gravy. It was November when Paul asked me on my first date. We hiked all day around Great Falls and the C&O canal talking the whole way. We lost track of time. Before we knew it it was dark out, the park was closed, and the gates were down. Just as I was thinking we'd be trapped there all night, Paul drove his jeep off the road, up the grassy and rocky hill, and got us around the gate and out of the park. I was laughing yet also thinking "who am I with?". So began the adventures with Paul.♡
