Leah (Haas) `05 and Daniel Shultz `05

 Leah (Haas) `05 and Daniel Shultz `05



We first met at "Into the Streets" during Freshman orientation.  We chatted a little bit, but did not really connect at all. A month later, a mutual friend re-introduced us while I (Leah) was hanging out in the quad with some friends.  Dan felt bad for not remembering me, so he squeezed my shoulders, which turned into an hour long shoulder massage and talking together, while all of my friends wondered who the guy was that was rubbing my shoulders.  By the end of the evening, I gave him my phone extension. The next night, Dan took me to Walmart and bought me some milk; we started hanging out regularly after that, and the rest is history.  We got engaged during finals week of our junior year (because Dan knew I wanted a ring down!), and got married the August after we graduated.  Now we've been married 16 1/2 years with 2 kids, and we're so thankful God (and Malone!) brought us together.
