Love Story: We started out having several mutual friends throughout our freshman year. During our sophomore year we were Organic Chem lab partners. We were both biology majors, so we had a lot of classes together and became good friends. Our junior year I finally broke up with my boyfriend. Eddie saw an opportunity to ask me out one night at F and O's. We went on a few dates, but I eventually broke up with him because I had just got out of a long term relationship. After that he started dating one of my Pi Ep sisters. Our senior year started and we once again had classes together and we both held offices within the Greek system so we had a lot of interaction. I realized that I should not have broken up with him and that I really liked him. So one night during Thanksgiving break we were at a party together and I spilled to him that I still liked him and wanted a second chance with him. He luckily still liked me and we have been together ever since. We ended up being accepted to pharmacy school together, were married right after we graduated from pharmacy school, and spent 2 years living in Milwaukee, then moved back to Omaha. Last year we built a home outside Underwood, IA and have 2 beautiful sons. Midland will always be a special place to us!
