Chris and I both had spent the last 20+ years of our life playing soccer. Little did we know, this common love we shared would allow our lives to cross pathways in the beautiful Charleston, SC in the summer of 2016. Chris was playing soccer for the Charleston Battery, while I was finishing my senior soccer season for Charleston Southern University. We ended up living in the same apartment complex. A couple of ice cream dates and a few soccer games later, I moved back to Wilmington, NC. But when I got there, I couldn't help but feel like I'd forgotten something important back in South Carolina. Today, Chris and I live in Wilmington, NC together where we continue to share our common love through coaching youth soccer and occasionally coming out of retirement ourselves! Chris knew and still knows the way to my heart, soccer and chocolate ice cream!
