Kristi and David had many opportunities to meet. They lived in the same residence halls for two years, went to many of the same events, and had friends in common. But, it wasn’t until their sophomore year when David got a job at the Gap Outlet, where Kristi was one of the supervisors, that the two met. Their first date was to the River Walk, and afterward, David was head-over-heels. A year later, he had saved up enough money to buy a ring. With no savings left to plan an elaborate engagement, he took her back to the Outlets, where it all started, and got on one knee in the Zales store. They married in 2002 and have two children.
