We were tying the knot!

First Noticing Each Other: Carl: *Junior English Class w/ Mrs. Woolam* “Who’s the girl that never shuts up?” Amber (Elementary School): “What a funny looking kid my friend says she’s going to marry.” Amber (High School): “Sweet Tech hoodie..wonder if he’ll be my friend?” *He would not be her friend* Carl and Amber see each other Freshmen year at Tech/Wall Hall: Carl: “Hey Amber long time no see. How’s it going?” Amber: *Runs away* Freshmen year second semester via Facebook: Carl: “Any good at Chemistry?” Amber: “I guess." *Amber is being humble. She is good at all things...school related* Carl: “Can you ‘help’ do my homework so I can go party like the hooligan I am?” Amber: “For $20.” Carl: “Deal.” Amber: *makes $20 and doesn’t even get him an A on the hw...he gets what he deserves* Carl: *Takes what he can get because he’s too drunk/hungover from hooligan shenanigans* First Semester Sophomore year in THE CLASSROOM in the Petroleum Engineering Building for Thermo I with badass Prof James (Anderson Cooper lookalike) Amber: *sitting in class early, making 0 eye contact so nobody will sit next to her and try to make weird conversation* Carl: *plops down next to Amber and forces her to talk to him* Amber: *gets good grade on first test* Carl: *does not* Carl: *gets good grade on second test* Amber: *does not* Carl: *reminds Amber when hw is due every week. ‘Helps’ with her hw one week when she forgets* Carl and Amber are now friends Carl and Amber have every class together because Carl—creepily—makes his schedule match Amber’s. Carl is mean to Amber because he’s essentially an 8 year old with a crush. Amber HARMLESSLY flirts with Carl with only ONE case of footsie under the table during a Solids study session.

Carl and Amber are up for all the same interviews for internships. At an info session for Phillips 66 Carl was supposed to drive her home, but she thought he left without her. Since her phone was dead, she decided to just walk home. Carl did not leave without her and ends up freaking out when he can’t find her. He drives around for hours looking for her. Amber finds out, realizes Carl is kinder than she thought, must like her, and they’d make a good couple. She freaks out. Fastforward many years: Carl sends snapchat message: “That’s a cute dog on your story” *Daisy is super adorable and a message from a long lost friend is definitely justified* Amber: “Thanks she’s my mom’s.” There’s a reunion and a lot of drinks at Fill Station, Brody’s, and in Justin’s garage. Amber visits Carl in Colorado and is forced to go to Pike’s Peak aka Hell on Earth. Amber takes Carl to an Astros game where she sprays wine out of her nose because she is very cool, hip, and with it. They fall in love. They get engaged. They set a date. The make a baby. They change the wedding date. They have the most perfect son in the whole entire world. And now they are going to celebrate on June 20th with their friends and family at the Parador!

Story Pending [Carl trying to figure out how to be funnier than Amber...]
