Kelsey Ferrin Leland '11 + Nicholas Leland '13

Anniversary Date: April 30, 2016

Love Story: Nick and I met at the free Midland ice skate night at the Sidner Ice Arena my freshman year. Nick and I actually attended the same high school, but we never connected there. Nick is one year older than I am and was actually working at the ice arena at the time. I went with a couple girl friends of mine and one of them actually thought he was cute so that is why we went to talk to him. It was pretty obvious my girlfriend and Nick had nothing in common, but he and I struck up a conversation and later connected on social media and continued to talk until our first date in March of 2008. We dated all throughout college and Nick ended up transferring to Midland. We both graduated from MU with business degrees in 2011 and 2013. We got married in 2016, welcomed our first son in 2018, and are now expecting our daughter June 2019.
