It all started back in 2003, when I made the fateful decision to change high schools during my sophomore year and come to Battle Ground Academy. Not only did we not become friends while there, we actually never spoke to each other the three years we were there together. BUT, we did become Facebook friends, which would prove incredibly important 13 years later. Late March 2019, AnnaMary was driving through Hillsboro Village and saw me waiting outside a restaurant to have dinner with my Dad. Thankfully she was surprised enough to see me, that she looked me up on Facebook and found that I was living in Nashville and also attending Vanderbilt. She very innocently sent me a message seeing how I was doing, and I tried to meet her for breakfast the very next morning. She didn't go along with that, but we did get dinner two nights later, and well... the rest is history.
