UW-Iloveyou

I am a senior at University of Wisconsin-Stout located in Menomonie, WI which is only a little over an hour from BRF.  I love this school, I love this town, I love everything about the last 4 years of my experience here.  This college experience has first and foremost lead me to my future husband.  Luke and I met in Psychology class my freshman year.  He was a Sophomore looking for a younger woman apparently :) .  I remember that first day of class as if it were yesterday.  I even remember what I wore..SERIOUSLY!  I went for comfort...my black strechy athletic pants, a red zip-up hoodie, and tan colored "ugg boots" (the Target brand ones of course).  I didn't know anyone in the class so I sat by myself.  That evening while on Facebook I got a friend request from Luke Sipple.... I had no clue who this creeper was.  I messaged him and asked him if I knew him.  He said we were in psychology together.  To be honest I was a little freaked out, but flattered at the same time.  I accepted the request thinking that I may need help with homework sometime.  After all, he did seem to be a bit of a nerd.  On the second day of class I sat by this mysterious man named Luke and ever since then our friendship grew.  It grew into a relationship that I had never had before.  Finally, a great guy, with a great family, who was kind and a gentleman.  I quickly fell for Luke, and we continued our journey at Stout together from that point on.  I remember late nights, Luke bringing me back to my dorm and being locked out because it was passed hours.  Hanging out in his Grandmas basement which is where he lived (romantic, I know!).  Watching movies, going on dates, finding out even more and more that we were meant for eachother.  Luke left our love campus last December, as he graduated.  I am still here, at the love-strucken school that lead me to Luke.  I am so thankful for this school.  I still have classes every now and again in that psychology classroom.... Home Ec. building, room 230.  So, I leave you with this:  Sometimes one little decision can change your whole life.  Keep an open mind, and ALWAYS accept friend requests on Facebook.  You never know!! :)
