We all love that romantic encounter - where we run into each other, drop our books, and while retrieving them off the ground, we melt into one another's eyes. Well the story of how we met wasn't quite that... Our books were put away for the night. Insert a house party off High street on OSU's campus, some mutual friends, perhaps a keg or two, and that about sets the scene of the night we met!! MJ just transferred to OSU. Prior, he played basketball at Heidelberg where he met some of our friends from Lima. Then he transferred to Miami of Ohio, then to OSU where his Lima friends had also transferred. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, because had MJ not went to Heidelberg and met his Lima pals, I may never had the opportunity to meet him! (Thanks Lima friends!) I was in my sophomore year of college - eager to explore the city and meet new people. I went to a Lima area/Delphos party at OSU with some girlfriends, where I ran into MJ (well, he was at the bottom of the keg stand in which I partook). We talked all night, exchanged numbers, and really hit it off! We “talked” for about 9 months... Now, I wish I could tell you that the way we officially became a couple was another romantic anecdote, but again, not so much. MJ asked me to become his girlfriend in the line for the porta-potty at Little Bar on OSU football gameday. Fast forward through 6 years of the most amazing and full-filling memories......now, almost to the day of becoming a couple, we are getting married!!!!
