Kory and I met freshmen year at the University of Iowa during the On Iowa! Program, a program where freshmen come to campus a few days before classes begin to get to know people and the campus. Kory and I were both in the same dorm in the Engineering Living Learning Community so we were in the same group. We became friends over the cheesy ice breakers and an emoji movie game I had on my phone.

We hung out in similar friend groups first semester, but became close friends second semester. We worked on our statics homework together and when Kory found out I had Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! on my Playstation 2, we started playing that game together.

It took Kory until the end of second semester to take me on our first date to dinner and to see Captain America 2: Winter Soldier. Not long after that date, he asked me to be his girlfriend.

Registry coming soon!
