Stephen Armes '92 & Karla Armes (Romstad) '91

Featured photo for Stephen Armes Karla and I met in January of 1989 right after Christmas break. I had saved a little money over Christmas and wanted to go skiing at Mt. High. I didn’t own a car and none of my roommates wanted to go, or take me so I was on the hunt for someone who had a car and wanted to join me...my treat of course. I was about to cross the street from Peterson to Mount Clef when a car stopped to let me cross. The car had ski racks and a cute girl inside. So I stopped halfway across the road, waved and asked her if she wanted to go skiing. She asked me when and I said how about tonight. To ensure I wasn’t some sort of lunatic, Karla asked her roommate to join us. We hit it off and went back the next night as well. That accidental encounter in the cross walk led to four years of dating and now 26 years of marriage. We have had the opportunity to travel the world, raise two wonderful boys and cheer on the Kingsmen at many sporting events!
