We saw each other for the first time at a chapter leadership conference for our FFA officer teams. We were around each other for the next few days, but never really spoke. However, Johnny apparently was sneaking some peaks in the pool. Later in June, we were at the Nebraska Career Education conference in Kearney for a week. Again, we were around each other for several days, but never said a word. Finally at the end of June, while at a curriculum training we starting speaking to each other and spending time together. We were both reserved at first, but after spending over two hours in Filley Hall at UNL's campus going through old agriculture related textbooks...Johnny's mind was made. We later began to speak on the phone everyday and made trips to see each other. Soon after, both our minds were made and we have never been happier.
