Girl from the west coast meets boy from the east coast smack in the middle of Kansas. Nick pursued Sarah from the beginning of our first year of vet school where we were classmates, but Sarah, through sheer stuborness and alcohol intake thwarted his advances for almost 9 months. Our first kiss was on the dance floor at Johnny Kaw's (so romantic) and we've been inseparable since. Tale as old as time. Boy likes girl. Girl ignores boy. Girl gets drunk. Boy gets nearly blinding eye injury. They fall in love.

Halfway through our internships, we spent a weekend up in Vermont. Nick had planned a sunrise hike to Winships, a scenic viewpoint overlooking the lake. Sarah refused to get out of bed before the sun. We had a great day hiking with the dogs, and eventually made our way to Glen Falls where we had hiked and swam during our first vacation. Both of our phones were dead, so we have no evidence it actually happened... on the other hand, we have those memories that only we get to share.
