We met in high school when I was carrying a chicken through the hallway for a presentation I was doing - ha! I was mortified! Shortly after, we were both involved in the school musical--he was the lead in Fiddler on the Roof and I was in the orchestra--and we began hanging out a lot in a group after discovering we had mutual friends. He wasn't looking for a relationship at the time because he was leaving within a year for the Air Force, but we went on casual dates. including our first date where I ate so much Chinese food that I had to excuse myself to the bathroom to throw up! I didn't tell him till years later, haha! I pined after him for about eight months when he finally asked me to be his girlfriend the day before he left for basic military training. The rest is history! <3
