Chad and Conni Smith
An Ironic Meeting
Our Story
Conni and I met at KSU, ironically enough, in a class called Marriage, Family, and Other Intimate Lifestyles (or something close to that). We were introduced by a mutual friend in the class. ¾«¶«Ó°Òµintroduction was followed by many long, slow walks back to Glen Morris apartments, where we both lived at the time. Our first date was approximately a week later, as we went to the theater to see the brand new box office release of "Aladdin." (It was her choice—I really wanted to see Malcolm X!)
¾«¶«Ó°ÒµProposal and Marriage
We were married in June of 1994, approximately a year and a half after meeting. We went on a spring break trip to Florida to visit my grandmother. Isn't it every girl's dream to be proposed to while visiting a grandmother?? Nineteen years and five children later, and we are still going strong.
Staying Connected to ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ Today
I am a lifetime member of the alumni association, and my closet/drawers are full of ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ clothing. We make it back to campus, which is about three hours away, to see baseball, football, volleyball, and soccer games. One of our daughters is a soccer player and will be playing in a tournament at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ in March with her team. She hopes to be a member of the ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ soccer team one day!
