We met at a gym in Bloomington, IN– ironic as Purdue Students except that we were only there to compete with our home gym’s team, CrossFit West Lafayette. After a few hours of competing I (Ellen) was the first to introduce myself by offering my favorite post-competition snack, sour gummy worms. After that, the team headed to Upland Brewing for lunch. Where Seth (I say conveniently) forgot his wallet and I offered to pay for his lunch. (Which I was immediately reimbursed for of course, but it’s still my favorite part of the story to tell.) Then a few months later, March 2019, after Seth had gotten the hang of my schedule at the Co-Rec– and I had taken note of his common workout areas – He asked me for a first date which started at CrossFit West Lafayette. We went in during Sunday open gym and hit a workout– 1st Date WOD: 10 AMRAP of Cindy for my CrossFit nerds out there, joined the yoga class that followed, and enjoyed a sit-down meal at Chipotle. After over two hours of eating and talking about our past, present, and future in that Chipotle, I remember coming home to living room full of roommates bug-eyed, “we were starting to get worried about you!” After nearly 5 hours of getting to know him, I remember standing against our door to say, “you guys, that was actually incredible.” Fast forward three years, which seems like no time– and a lifetime all together, we absolutely love our life with our family, friends, and two dogs. We are currently living in Speedway with hopes to stay in the Indy area for the next few years– or more? Who knows! Seth works with his father, Kevin, as a partner in K&M Remodeling and enjoys woodworking on the side. I will be obtaining my Doctor of Physical Therapy at IUPUI starting in May of 2022 (busy summer for us!) and continuing to coach group fitness and weightlifting classes at Notch 8 Athletics. We would not be where we are, or the way we are, today without all your help along the way. We are so grateful and hope you all know how special you are to us. We love you so much and hope to see you this June! We can’t wait to party!
