Love does all kinds of things, as Natalia Valentín-Anderson will tell you when asked about her journey to Omaha, Nebraska. 

Valentín-Anderson met her husband, Colt Anderson, while both were student-athletes at Florida International University. Colt — a tight end for the Panthers — is originally from Omaha, where he attended Westside High School. Natalia, on the other hand, arrived at FIU from Puerto Rico, where she starred as a setter from 2007-10.

Natalia and Colt are now settled in Omaha, which wasn’t a tough sell because again, “love does all kinds of things.”
