We met on our first day at CU Boulder. Dave had gotten separated from his floormates on the way back from a campus welcome event. I had abandoned my own because their endless sorority chants were getting stuck in my head. I saw him sitting on the stoop in front of the dorm where we both lived, and went to sit next to him. We made plans to meet up the next day and go find all of our classrooms before the semester started. I had no idea he would propose to me on that very spot nearly 10 years later.
