SwedeHearts - Adam '09 & Kelsey Peterson '09

March 1, 2022

Class of 2009. They met early their freshman year when Adam, who lived in the basement of Anna Marm, was being voluntold by his RA that he was going to choir tryouts. He remembers begrudgingly going to the stairs and looking up at this beautiful brunette standing at the top of the staircase! Love at first sight! They reside in McPherson where Kelsey homeschools their 4 children and Adam is a mail carrier.
