We actually were in the same kindergarten class but I was an early bird and he was a late bird. But our 1st meeting was in 3rd grade at Fairview Elementary school. We played together by gathering hay and playing by the stump at the back of the field. Then I (Kelly) moved to a different school and we did not see each other until middle school. However, when we saw each other again. I did not know that he was the same person from 3rd grade and this continued until high school. When we started our sophomore year we were both going through tough times and then Nicko decided "Hey aren't you Kelly from 3rd grade?" and I had no memory of who he was but Nicko was determined to make me remember him. He showed me a picture of our 3rd grade class with my Chuck E. Cheese shirt and polka dot pants. And this conversation was the beginning of our journey as friends that would blossom into love. Nicko asked me out on September 18. 2008 at school after chemistry class and we have been together ever since.
