We met while working at the campus gym at Western Carolina University in January 2016. We were both working our first shift of the semester when we met each other for the first time. The next weekend a few co-workers had decided to go out for Mexican food after work and we both decided to join. As weeks passed of getting to know each other through work, we had our first date at Innovation Brewing followed by a waterfall hike the next day. We continued to get to know eachother as we spent time studying, hiking, backpacking, skiing and enjoying the beautiful mountains together.
