Alaina and Roger met at CSU Monterey Bay, but this isn't your traditional "met at a college party" kind of story, that would be too normal. Alaina was a transfer student and didn't have a single friend starting out. She went to the gym constantly because she had way too much free time. Roger played basketball on Monday nights at that same school gym. Long story short, Alaina watched Roger through a tiny gym office window for weeks while on the elliptical. Alaina is the first to admit the level of creepiness. As soon as she made a friend, she asked who the cute guy at the gym was and her friend responded, "Oh, Roger? The parking cop?" Alaina and her new friend went to watch one of Roger's basketball games and Roger still had zero knowledge of Alaina. Alaina tried to work up the courage to say hi in person, but when he walked right by her, she choked. So, Alaina did things the old-fashioned way, Instagram Direct Message. Persistent! After some small talk, like "who are you and how did you find me?" Roger asked to meet Alaina in person and they hit it off immediately. For their first date, they went on a hike in Carmel, CA and they have been hiking and adventuring together ever since!
