Abel and I met during our first semester of Texas State at Zombie Prom. We exchanged numbers and he texted me the next day asking me to lunch. By our second semester we were dating. Our relationship had its challenges, especially during the summer as we lived two hours apart with our families during that time, but would still try to see each other when we could, and looked forward to the start of each semester. After eight years of dating, we finally tied the knot this past June.
