How We Met :)

Collin and Kristen met in Summer of 2009 while hiking to the top of Everest. Both had decided they would head up to the top alone since its a fairly easy hike and they needed some time to contemplate and reflect. When they reached the top, at exactly the same time, a bird swooped down and knocked Kristen off of her feet. She fell, resulting in a cut on her knee. Had Collin not been there it is difficult to know what might have happened to Kristen. He saved her life. He carried Kristen down the mountain and they quickly found out that they were meant for each other. When they reached the bottom Collin's bus arrived and he had no time to say goodbye or exchange phone numbers. You don't want to miss the bus after all. Kristen dedicated the next few minutes of her life to stalking him on facebook. It was easy to find him. They had mutual friends.

"Finally, I found you. I was worried I would never see you again and I searched for so long to find you," she told him via message.

He didn't respond for several days but when he did he said, "Here is my phone number, text me, we should hang out."

The days that followed were wonderful. Kristen knew she would never feel this way again so she often drove past his house to make sure he was home and not out with some other girl named Kristen. But Collin was a wild spirit and sometimes felt enslaved by his love for her. He broke up with her more than once and as payback, she too broke up with him.

(She'd be like oh man Collin I can't wait to hang out with you all Summer and then you know what she did? She broke up with him all Summer. Sooooo lame)

Eventually through the roller coaster that was their tumultuous and passionate relationship, Collin and Kristen found that they could commit to marriage.
