As told by Heather: We met more formally at a going away party for a friend of a friend that was part of a Rice Alumni Friends Group (shout out to Grace Hearn). We were both newer to the group but had made a few new friends after relocating to Houston... I arrived in May after graduating from UT and Austin moved back in December after graduating from Baylor. The day was spent playing ultimate frisbee (I do not know how I got coaxed into this one) and meeting up for drinks later in Rice Village. We both eventually realized we were both 'non-Rice' grads and struck up a conversation. The night ended with Austin walking me to my car, and casually getting my number. It turns out we lived about 10 minutes from each other. We started running, playing tennis, and eating copious amounts of tex-mex. The rest is history.
