Kierra & Paul were both very proud of their Alma Maters and joined the Ohio State Dallas Alumni club and Notre Dame Alumni club accordingly right when they moved to Dallas. On December 2, 2017 they both attended a Dallas Alumni Club leadership conference to improve their Clubs. Paul thought Kierra was cute and wanted her number and Kierra wanted to implement Paul's role in her Club so she agreed to giving Paul her number. Nonetheless she agreed to meet up with Paul at the ND game watch bar to "Play a game unlike any she had ever played before". While they didn't play Hanabi on that first date, they did the date the following week. They lost the cohesive game, but work better together than ever.
When Kierra & Paul were living in Dallas, the first out of town date they went on was camping at a dark sky location just outside of Austin. Fast forward and Paul knew he wanted to propose on a special trip but with Covid, travel options were limited. So he told her they were meeting some family friends for a nice lunch to get her in that location. There was no one else there and instead he walked her down to where there's a beautiful waterfall and greenery and got on one knee there. Paul would like you to know that he was sure to stop at the same In-N-Out they did on their original camping trip after the proposal as a celebratory meal. It is now less than a mile from their apartment.
