How We Met

Thank God for Freshman Year Seminar

On our very first week of class we were forced to take Freshman year Seminar on account of us both being commuters. It was the last class of the day and I can only assume we were both dreading staying on campus past 5pm. It was the first week of school and the guys and gals sat on opposite ends of the classroom, refusing to mix with one another. Bob Crow informed us we needed to form a few groups of five people each, and luckily, there were only four girls in the class, so naturally the girls all grouped together, but we were down one. Nelson left the guys' side of the classroom and sauntered towards the girls group, but there was no room for all 6'6" of him, so he picked up a desk, scooted it between myself and another gal who had to scoot away from me to make room for him. Nelson sat down and introduced himself to the rest of the groups and as he smiled, I felt my heart dissolve into mush, and that moment is exactly where we started. Now we're getting married, and preparing to spend the rest of our lives as partners in crime.

For all the days along the way
