Strength and Conditioning class in the Spring semester of 2013 would be the first time Alex and Lexi began to know one another. After being paired up at random on the first day of class, they sought opportunities to remain partners for every possible activity for the rest of the semester. Their paths had nearly crossed years before this as Alex played little league baseball throughout elementary and middle school with Lexi’s brother, Nic, and was coached by her dad, Doug. They would turn their high school crush into a formal relationship on October 5th, 2013 when Alex asked Lexi to be his girlfriend at Verona’s homecoming dance. Following high school Alex and Lexi attended Loras College where they continued their athletic careers, studied (occasionally), and explored Dubuque with some of their closest friends. After 4 incredible years at Loras they left for Milwaukee to grow their relationship in living together for the first time as Lexi pursued her masters in Physician Assistant studies. Today, the (soon to be) Hofstetter’s find themselves living in the Madison area again with their beloved cat, Dewey. They are very happy to be closer to family and friends as they grow in their careers and prepare to begin married life together! Although the next steps in life are never certain, Alex and Lexi find immense joy in knowing that their love and support for one another is constant and unwavering.
