"Chris and I met at Camp LuWiSoMo during a winter church retreat in January 2013. While we talked and got to know each other a bit, nothing came of our newfound friendship besides exchanging phone numbers. As the weeks passed, we kept bumping into each other at Calvary Lutheran Church in Madison, WI. This eventually lead to walking to church together, as our apartments in Madison were near by. Our first official date consisted of riding bikes and playing catch at a nearby park. We shared stories, giggles, and our love for being outside. As the dates continued, we also continued sharing our time together outdoors--biking, rollerblading, downhill and cross-country skiing, and eventually camping and hiking. We still love to do these activities together, and have since included more fishing (per Chris), more running (per Emily), and kayaking."
